Fairness, Equity and Opportunity Statement:

The United Way of Moore County is committed to practicing and promoting fair treatment and equitable opportunities for all people. Furthermore, we oppose all forms of oppression that discriminate against any group of people. We acknowledge that there are historical and structural barriers in our community to equitable outcomes for marginalized people. Accordingly, we engage with our strategic partners in Moore County to ensure that individuals and families have access to educational support, health services, and financial stability programs necessary to achieve the independence and self-sufficiency essential to becoming productive, competitive members of our community.

We are committed to creating a board that reflects the community we serve. We seek to ensure that our staff and board are aware of the factors that marginalize people and groups of people in Moore County. Likewise, we shall, through our grant making process, ensure that our strategic partners have adopted anti-discriminatory practices that promote fair, just, and equitable outcomes for the populations they serve.
