United Way of Central Ohio

Imagine a community where every child begins the school day feeling healthy, happy, well fed and safe, with equitable access to resources and opportunities. That is the vision for Success by Third Grade, and together, we can ensure that every child in Franklin County is on a pathway to success once they leave third grade.

Using a proven collective impact model, United Way of Central Ohio serves as the backbone organization for Success by Third Grade, bringing together individuals, nonprofits, corporations, school districts and governments to tackle non-academic barriers that impact reading proficiency.
