Partner With Us

United Way gets people working together so everyone can thrive. We’re rooted in communities everywhere. And we have the people, tools and know-how to help you do even more good.

You make real change happen when you partner with United Way. Your employees get to give back where they live and work, and your brand connects with a trusted nonprofit that’s making a difference across the globe.

Are you an individual or organization looking to get involved? We’ll help you figure out what matters most to your team and your community. We’ll also help you find strategies to amplify your social and environmental impact. And we’ll work together on solutions that make a lasting difference — whether you’re focused on education, financial security, health access or disaster relief. We reach more than 1,100 communities, so we can scale solutions to improve lives and protect the planet while also promoting prosperity for everyone.

This work gets at the heart of pressing societal needs. Our partnership is succeeding because the programs are tailored to local needs and education levels.
