Mission & Values
What UMMA is for, and the four values behind every program.
Our Mission
UMMA brings people together to meet the most urgent needs of our time, and to build help that lasts: relief in a crisis, education, and work that communities run themselves, for the generations after us.
Our Values
Four values guide every program and every decision we make.
Compassion
We start from the person in front of us. Care for people in need comes first, and nobody is left out.
Integrity
We are honest about what we do and open about how we do it. We answer to the people we serve and to the people who fund the work.
Innovation
We look for new answers when old ones fall short: a farm whose harvest pays for relief, a restaurant that gives its profits away.
Collaboration
We work alongside communities and partners, because together we reach further than any of us could alone.
Build With Us
Help a family through a crisis today, and keep that help going for years after.
