The Community Impact Committee plays a vital role in ensuring that United Way of West Central Mississippi delivers meaningful and measurable change across our region. Comprised of dedicated volunteers and community leaders, the committee evaluates local needs, reviews funding applications, and helps guide investment decisions that align with our mission to build a thriving community for all.

By using data-driven strategies and a deep understanding of community challenges, the Community Impact Committee helps ensure that donor dollars are directed where they will make the greatest impact. From improving education outcomes to strengthening financial stability and promoting lifelong literacy, this committee is the heart of our work—turning generosity into real solutions for individuals and families across our service area.
