Giving to the United Way of Norman is the easiest and most efficient way to make one donation that helps the entire community. Your gift will benefit dozens of programs that help children who are victims of abuse, ensure that the hungry can get a hot meal, provide medical services to people who can’t afford them and increase the independence of adults living with disabilities. With one donation, you can help all these people and more.

United Way of Norman funds 36 programs at 23 agencies in the Norman area. Each program fits into one of our Impact Areas; Basic Needs, Successful Children & Youth, Strong & Safe Individuals & Families and Seniors & Persons with Disabilities.

The United Way also provides services to the community through programs like Helpline, Success By 6, Teen Advisors of Norman, FamilyWize discount drug cards and the ABC School Supply Program.

85-cents of every dollar donated goes directly to helping people in our community.

You can designate to any of the four Impact Areas: Basic Needs (7194), Successful Children & Youth (7191), Strong & Safe Individuals & Families (7192) or Seniors & Persons with Disabilities (7193). That money will be spread to the programs funded in that area.

Volunteers serving on the United Way's four Impact Councils decide how to distribute dollars to programs requesting funding. The Impact Councils then make recommendations to the Board of Directors, who have final approval on all funding.
