Mission
United We March Forward (UWMF) is operating as a community-based charitable nonprofit organization.
Program accomplishments
- Driver's Education: United We March Forward's Drivers Education for Immigrants (DEFI) program provides culturally responsive drivers education and literacy support to immigrants and refugee participants who are seeking transportation independence and workforce access. In 2024, we supported 25 participants and in 2025, the program supported 36 individuals particularly non-English speakers, in obtaining learners permit and developing safe driving skills. The program provided instruction in the participants primary language to improve understanding of Iowa traffic laws, public safety expectations, and financial responsibilities associated with vehicle ownership and transportation. The program combined classroom instruction, permit preparation, interpretation support, driving simulation, and practical driving education to help participants safely navigate transportation systems and improve access to employment, healthcare, schools, and community resources.Expenses $62,058 · grants $49,580
- Management/ General: This category included core operational services, community coordination, outreach, transportation support, and essential organizational programming. UWMF's Resource Directory program was established in 2018, it connected immigrant and refugee families with housing, workforce development, healthcare, and educational resources. Over 500 family households served through the Resource Directory program. One early participant entered the program while experiencing housing instability and living in her vehicle after relocating to Iowa. Within 30 days, we had connected her with housing, childcare, workforce support, and enrollment into a Certified Nursing Assistant training program. She now works full-time in healthcare and continues pursuing nursing education. Due to financial limitations in 2025, the organization ended its case management services in order to focus on sustaining core programs. Remaining activities included our English Literacy Program (over 50 individuals enrolled), Adopt-a-Family, a holiday support program for children under 18 (we served 45 children), transportation coordination, community outreach (over 200 individuals), and administrative operations necessary to support direct services.Expenses $33,850 · grants $27,044
- Grow Pamoja: United We March Forward (UWMF) Grow Pamoja (Swahili meaning together) included urban gardening initiatives and food access support aimed at improving food security, sustainability, and community wellness. Prior to the closure of our 3 food pantries due to funding limitations, the organization serve more than 5,000 individuals monthly through three food pantry sites. These pantry sites supported immigrants families, non-immigrants families, veterans, elderly residents, and young families. The urban gardening initiative supported fourteen immigrant and refugee growers who maintained garden plots, distributed produce at the Downtown Farmers Market, and donated a majority of harvested food through community pantry systems. The program also promoted food equity, urban agriculture education, and economic empowerment. Multiple participants expanded into independent agricultural production, including one participant who established an LLC and now distributes food locally. So far this initiative had produce over 5 individuals who are now upscaling their production. Due to funding challenges, UWMF closed all three food pantry operations in 2025 to preserve long-term organizational sustainability but we continue to support urban growers through gardening initiatives.Expenses $16,924 · grants $13,522
