BATAVIA COMMUNITY CHEST aka Batavia United Way

Mission Statement

Batavia United Way is a nonprofit organization charged with raising funds and dispersing them in a fiscally responsible manner to programs which directly benefit Batavians. Specific attention is dedicated to the areas of education, health, and income. We believe every child in the country should have a good education. Every citizen should feel financially stable. Every community should be healthy and strong. We support area nonprofits who act upon these beliefs by striving to increase the public's awareness and by acting as a conduit for collection of community contributions, and by directing funds to the most effective area nonprofits. Batavia United Way's vision also assumes we do more than wait for other non-profits to address current social service problems. Our mission and vision includes independently identifying community needs, and one project at a time, becoming a leader and catalyst for change or improvement.
