What United Way of Anderson, Campbell, Morgan and Scott Counties does

United Way of Anderson, Campbell, Morgan and Scott Counties is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit affiliate of United Way Worldwide, headquartered at 301 Broadway Ave. in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Founded in 1951, the organization operates with a small staff of 8 employees and serves a four-county region in East Tennessee with a combined population of roughly 164,000 residents. Its mission centers on financial stability, education, and health for ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) households, of whom 26% in Anderson County struggle to afford basic necessities.

The organization's product portfolio is a set of community programs rather than a technology platform. Financial stability services include IRS-certified VITA free tax preparation for households earning $67,000 or less, the Benefits Kitchen SMS-based screener for 17 public assistance programs, and the East Tennessee Collaborative (ETC) Economic Mobility program offering two-year mentorship and coaching. Education and health programs include Project Period (2,500+ menstrual hygiene kits annually across 12+ schools), Career Pathways (10-week paid work experiences for at-risk high school students), Prescription Discount Program, ALICE community education, and Nonprofit Support capacity building. The Scarboro 85 monument project extends into historical preservation.

Revenue is generated through annual fundraising campaigns, corporate workplace giving, major donor cultivation, and events (Day of Caring, Longtable Dinner). Workplace giving is concentrated among 25+ corporate partners including Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Y-12 Federal Credit Union, UCOR, UT-Battelle, Centrus Energy, Methodist Medical Center, and Regions Bank. Services are distributed directly to households via VITA sites, partner schools, and host nonprofits, with no consumer pricing and no fee-for-service revenue model.
