We are a leading private health and human services partner working with numerous local agencies. The list of agencies that receive grants each year is located under the Community Involvment/agencies.

Diversity Equity and Inclusion Policy

“Equity is the intentional inclusion of everyone in society.  Equity is achieved when systemic, institutional, and historical barriers based on race as well as other factors are dismantled and no longer predicate socioeconomic, education and health outcomes"

To this end, Kewanee Area United Way (KAUW) Policy commits:

To strive to engage all levels of the communities KAUW serves to achieve inclusion in Kewanee Area United Way; evaluate the equitable inclusion of all segments of the population that KAUW serves during selection of vendors; evaluate the equitable inclusion of all segments of the population that partner agencies serve during the yearly grant award selections; equitably make available resources, programs, etc. to all segments of the population that KAUW serves; to encourage the dismantling of any historical disenfranchisement of any segment of the population served by KAUW and to review this policy at least once every three years and display this policy on the KAUW social media outlets, including www.kauw.org.”

KAUW further commits to work with residents as well as public and private partners to create solutions so that the communities served, have the resources, support, and opportunity to achieve financial stability, reach educational goals and standards and maintain healthy lifestyles through awareness and advocacy.
