Job Description

United Way of Tucson & Southern Arizona (UWTSA) responds to the community’s needs, transforms lives and brings long‑lasting systemic change to the community by focusing on the underlying issues. The organization fights for education, financial wellness, equality and healthy communities for every person in Tucson and Southern Arizona. Its role as community convener enables it to serve more than 420,000 people each year by forming strategic partnerships, mobilizing the best resources and being the catalyst for needed, positive change.

The next leader of the United Way of Tucson & Southern Arizona (UWTSA) will be a community influencer and become part of a diverse, vibrant and progressive community that values philanthropy and social justice.

The organization is excited to begin their next chapter with new leadership and re‑introduce the United Way to the community. Following wonderful success over the past 15 years, they see this leadership transition as an opportunity for a new perspective and approach in addressing collective impact in the community. With the ever‑evolving issues at the federal level regarding the immigrant population, investments in housing and engaging with local Native American and Hispanic populations, there are deep systemic issues the next President & CEO will have the opportunity to address.
