Reimagine Our Future
Let’s rebuild a more equitable and resilient future. Together, we can help lift up our neighbors to build a stronger community.
Resilient individuals are created when we strengthen families and the community that surrounds them.
That’s why we focus on empowering families socially, mentally, physically, and economically.
A resilient community surrounds individuals and families and offers connection and opportunities for all. We come together in times of crisis and need, making sure no one is left behind.
That’s why we focus on bringing people together around big issues both proactively, and in response to the unexpected.
A resilient safety net makes sure that no one in our community goes without having their basic needs of food, shelter, healthcare, and personal safety met.
That’s why we focus on food and nutrition, shelter and housing options, financial help to pay the bills, and more.
Please join others and be a part of something bigger than you’d thought possible. Help reimagine, rebuild, and reshape a future open to new possibilities, new ways of doing things for all.
Give generously now and help lift up your neighbors to build a stronger community. Thank you!
Your ongoing contributions meant that United Way was ready to respond quickly to the pandemic -- bringing partners together and getting life-changing support to people in need. Since March 2020, above and beyond our annual agency grants, an additional $2.2 million in COVID Relief Funds has been directed to help families in Monroe, Owen, Greene, and Brown counties.
Your donation to United Way impacts 1 in 3 lives locally. And 90% of clients served at member agencies are low- to moderate-income.
Just as your support helped ensure a quick response to the pandemic, your help paves the way for United Way to lead the response to emerging needs, like housing insecurity and homelessness, hunger, and flood relief in the region.
IRS QUICK LINKS
If you received Advanced Child Tax Credit payments from the IRS in 2021, you will receive Letter 6419 in January 2022 that provides the total amount of payments disbursed to you during 2021. Keep this letter and bring it with you when file your 2021 tax return.
The IRS encourages everyone to use the Tax Withholding Estimator to perform a quick "paycheck checkup." This is even more important following the recent changes to the tax law for 2018 and beyond.
The Estimator helps you identify your tax withholding to make sure you have the right amount of tax withheld from your paycheck at work. There are several reasons to check your withholding, particularly if you have recently experienced a major life event (i.e. marriage, the birth of a child, adoption, or buying a home):
- It can protect against having too little tax withheld and facing an unexpected tax bill or penalty at tax time next year.
- At the same time, with the average refund topping $2,800, you may prefer to have less tax withheld upfront, so you receive more in your paychecks and get a smaller refund at tax time.
If you received unemployment income in 2021, it is likely you will owe some amount when you file your tax return. Ask your tax preparer about how to set up a payment plan to help you repay the tax you owe.
