The Louisiana Association of United Ways (LAUW) represents 13 United Way Agencies throughout Louisiana and each committed to enhancing the human service delivery systems necessary to ensure the economic health of our state.
The mission of LAUW is to increase the organized capacity of Louisiana United Way organizations. The purpose of LAUW is to foster and enable the provision of efficient and effective community services for the citizens of the service area.
In 2006, the LAUW hired professional staff, including a president, office manager, statewide long term recovery coordinator and a 2-1-1 statewide coordinator to increase Louisiana’s capacity to deliver these vitally needed services and to demonstrate our ability to speak with one voice. |
