Diversity Policy

For over 100 years, it has been the policy of Butler County United Way to actively practice diversity in all aspects of its business. Valuing diversity is a strategic priority. Our goal is to maximize the impact we make in our community – a community built upon the diverse talents, cultures, and perspectives of the human race.

Fostering and promoting an inclusive environment and maximizing the ideas and contributions of as many diverse individuals and organizations as possible will provide an enriching environment for creative thinking and innovation. Taking the broadest possible view of diversity will collectively and effectively create opportunities for a better life for all.

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of what it means to LIVE UNITED.
