We’ve set bold goals for Mighty Change to fight for a more equitable future for all of our neighbors throughout Maricopa County. We’re kicking down barriers and championing new ways of thinking to stand up for our community and be a force for change. And, we need your partnership to accomplish these pretty epic things.
In 2021, Valley of the Sun United Way announced our MC2026 5-Year Plan. The seven bold goals outlined in MC2026 were not created solely by Valley of the Sun United Way; they build upon existing community goals, and we continuously re-evaluate and redeploy our energies, resources, leadership and partners to achieve them.
