United Way of Southeastern Idaho
The United Way of Southeastern Idaho builds powerful partnerships that improve outcomes for children, families, and individuals in need. We strive to be the go-to place for community impact in our region. Our work focuses on creating a healthier, more financially stable, and educated SE Idaho. Our work covers the seven Southeastern counties of Idaho--Bannock, Bear Lake, Bingham, Caribou, Franklin, Oneida, and Power. All donated funds stay local and 100% of funds donated by individuals through workplace giving campaigns goes to fund programs that impact our seven county region. Our overhead is covered by generous corporate sponsors and outside grant funding.
The 2-1-1 Idaho CareLine, a free statewide community Information & Referral service, is a program of the Department of Health & Welfare. The AAA is a partner, with our resource directory available on the 211 website.
