UWNEMN and our partners are here to help all people thrive across Northern St. Our work today goes far beyond raising and distributing money.

Louis County, Eastern Itasca County, Koochiching County, and Lake of the Woods County thanks to the support of local donors and volunteers. The United Way of Northeastern Minnesota is a non-profit organization serving Northern St. Louis County, Koochiching County, Lake of the Woods County, and parts of Itasca County, encompassing thirty-five communities. More than 40 years ago concerned and passionate citizens helped to create the United Way of Northeastern Minnesota to help people in need and make our community a better place for everyone. We are seen as change agents who bring together experts from all across the community including government, business, faith groups, labor, nonprofits and ordinary citizens to create long lasting change.
