Promise partnership Utah is a nationally recognized model of civic infrastructure and is designated as a systems transformation organization by strivetogether (strivetogether.org) for its success in improving outcomes for children and families, specifically in the areas of education, health, and economic mobility. The strategies, programs, and services implemented by these partnerships (involving hundreds of community partners, schools and businesses) happen through "community schools" that function as hubs of services and supports for children and families.
Donor designations are contributions in which donors specify how their contributions will be used by designating a United Way community impact priority, a United Way managed program, or any bona fide nonprofit agency.
