Declare Your Vision! MAKE IT BE.

United Way has set an audacious goal – to cut the number of Bay Area families living in poverty in half by 2020.

We know one program or expert can never solve the problems of poverty, so we’ve started the MAKE IT BE movement to harness the incredible energy and talent of the Bay Area.

We invite you to MAKE IT BE. Join us in creating the vibrant Bay Area we all want to live in. Poverty is standing between our current reality and our future vision.
