Making an Impact: Davidson County
A look at our work.
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
Each year, United Way volunteers help thousands of low-income and at-risk taxpayers prepare their taxes through the VITA free tax preparation program. In 2023, we offered in-person and virtual VITA tax prep throughout Davidson County.
Financial Empowerment Center
The Nashville Financial Empowerment Center offers no-cost one-on-one financial counseling to residents in the Greater Nashville region. In partnership with the Mayor’s Office, the FEC helps people move from a state of instability to a state of empowerment with new savings habits, higher credit scores and lower debt burdens.
Read To Succeed
Read To Succeed is a comprehensive early childhood learning model that builds academic and social-emotional skills for children from birth through age 5. Through Read To Succeed, children learn the skills they need to reach their highest potential.
The Family Collective
Kids who experience homelessness face many obstacles to reaching their potential, like lack of resources, frequent school changes, loss of school records and emotional stress. That’s why The Family Collective is preventing and ending family homelessness by connecting families to sustainable opportunities and disrupting cycles of poverty.
Imagination Library of Middle Tennessee
In partnership with the Governor’s Early Literacy Foundation and the Dollywood Foundation, Imagination Library of Middle Tennessee delivers an age-appropriate, high-quality book each month straight to Davidson County children’s mailboxes at no cost to families.
Funded Partners
Our Community Impact Funding process mobilizes resources to provide results-oriented funding to 105 nonprofit agencies serving Davidson County. Funding recommendations are made by a dedicated group of community volunteers and are approved by our board of trustees. In 2023, we put $5,533,997 back into Davidson County through our Community Impact Funding, along with an additional $226,257 in VITA funding and $3,870,759.90 in Financial Assistance Network funding.
