Why It Matters

We believe stronger nonprofits lead to stronger communities. By investing in infrastructure and services together, we reuse resources, avoid duplication, and ensure help reaches those who need it most.

The Community Game Plan is the foundation for how United Way of Horry County sets priorities and directs resources. It is built through local data, community conversations, partner input, and ongoing feedback from residents across Horry County. The goal is simple: create a shared plan that guides our work, strengthens partnerships, and leads to measurable improvement in the lives of the people we serve.

The new 2026 Game Plan focuses on four main areas: Youth Opportunity, Healthy Community, Financial Security, Community Resiliency.
