Whether an individual or an organization, our purpose is our “why” for existing. Understanding purpose comes from identifying what motivates us, what makes us happy, and what we need in order to help us feel important and valued. In fact, our purpose can often change, shifting as circumstances around us shift and as time goes by.
United Way of Central Iowa and its partners have developed this free Powered by Purpose resource to help our community improve its collective sense of purpose.
