United Way of South Sarasota County (UWSSC) is a community fund that focuses on and funds local programs in Venice, Englewood, North Port, Laurel, Nokomis, and Osprey, aimed at fighting for the health, education, and financial stability of their neighbors. They particularly prioritize supporting the ALICE population, which refers to families and seniors who are Asset Limited, Income Constrained, yet Employed in the South County communities.
UWSSC divides their community funds into two main focus areas: Health and Well-Being, which includes programs for adults and children with special needs, crisis intervention for children and adults, and assistance for the elderly; and Community Impact, which encompasses education programs to promote school readiness for preschool children and financial stability initiatives to promote financial literacy and increased income potential. Transparency is a fundamental policy for UWSSC, and they provide detailed audited financial statements and tax forms for public viewing.
