We have partnered with community members in the Nackwic area to establish the Nackawic Community Investment Fund. Our goal is to improve the quality of life of community members within Nackawic and surrounding areas through the direct investment of funds raised within the community.  The Nackawic and Area Community Fund offers opportunities for concerned and caring community members to give back to the community that has nurtured them.

All investments align with United Way’s mission, and investment principles, and support change in one or more of the following focus areas:

• Healthy People, Strong Communities
• Moving people From Poverty to Possibility
• Helping Kids Be All They Can Be

A passionate group of volunteers who want to make a difference in Nackawic are working to raise funds and to engage local individuals in the Nackawic Area, ensure their donations stay close to home, and enable United Way to support more local organizations.

If you would like to contribute to the Nackawic and Area Community Fund, visit our donation form and select Nackawic and Area under “funds”.
