The mission is to be Brevard's leader in mobilizing the caring power of our community. United Way of Brevard County was started in 1957 by a group of concerned individuals wanting to help those in need. They formed the Brevard County United Appeal and conducted their first county-wide fund drive in the early spring of 1958. Over $104,000 was raised, and 12 agencies received funding that first year. The annual campaign has grown over the years highlighted by the recent 2010 campaign, which raised over $6.8 million and supported 67 programs at 42 agencies.
