YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Stand Up for Central Florida
Business United connects the business and nonprofit sector to create positive change in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties. By working together, we stand up for the 47% of Central Florida’s population who are struggling to make ends meet — the population referred to as ALICE, or those who are Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.
These are individuals who are working hard — often two or more jobs — but still struggle to afford their basic needs. They’re your friends, your neighbors, your coworkers, and your community; this is YOUR opportunity to stand up for them.
