Together — with our donors, volunteers, partners and sponsors — we work for a community where every child has an equal opportunity to thrive, every family has the resources to become self-reliant, and every person has a safe place to call home. The Cape and Islands United Way partners with more than 30 local nonprofits to fund programs that address these critical issues, making a positive difference in the lives of more than 50,000 people every year.

​

More than one-third of the funds we distribute to our community is raised at our events. Your engagement and generosity has a direct impact on improving the lives of our friends and neighbors.

Second Summer Cycle

​CIUW was thrilled to participate in the 2nd Annual Second Summer Cycle, teaming up with Gosnold to amplify the reach of our team!

​

The Second Summer Cycle event is comprised of hundreds of road cyclists riding the picturesque journey through 11 historic Cape Cod towns while fundraising on behalf of 19 local Cape Cod charities. This was the perfect event for riders of all levels and culminated in a celebration in Provincetown.

Community Baby Shower

In the spirit of a traditional baby shower, this year's Community Baby Shower were celebrations. The event gave low-income families a stronger start to parenthood by providing access to maternal and early childhood resources and many essentials to take home, such as diapers, wipes, clothing, and car seats installed by officers from the Barnstable Police helping out at the event.

​

This year, we hosted a community baby shower in Hyannis and on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
