We are a non-profit that raises money during a campaign season by working with local companies through payroll deduction, or through individual fundraising efforts, that usually takes place during the Fall months. We then turn around and allocate the dollars raised to local non-profit groups in the Spring. The non-profits, which we support, must benefit the health, education, or financial stability of the residents of Clare and Gladwin Counties. Their programs must fall into one of those categories in order to be funded by United Way. The dollar distribution is decided by a panel of volunteers that live and work in the communities in which the money is raised and in which the money will be used. 

Vision

Individuals and families receive the assistance they deserve.

Lori Nevill

Executive Director

Lori joined United Way of Clare and Gladwin Counties in 2022. Raised in Gladwin County, she and her husband, Scott, live in Clare where they’ve raised their 4 children. Her love for both counties is the driving force in her dedicated efforts with the United Way to improve the lives of those in need.

Her work experience in both the non-profit and corporate worlds has given her unique skills to guide our United Way and to work alongside the local agencies that United Way partners with. In working together, these strong partnerships provide positive impact for a healthier and happier community.

When Lori isn’t working, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, spoiling her kids and 6 grandkids, gardening, travelling, salmon fishing, reading a good book and simply enjoying the life she’s been blessed with.

It is inspiring, just one donation given through United Way, can support so many programs and that a panel of community members determines how best to use that funding.
