UNITE WITH US.
We strengthen our region
Join us, as we unite people, resources and funding to help build strong and equitable communities where everyone can thrive. This is more than a campaign; United Way is a cause. Unite with us as we lift and strengthen people, families and neighborhoods across Missouri and Illinois.
Special thanks to KSDK Anchor Kelly Jackson for being the voice of our mission video and success stories.
We empower people
Helping people live their best lives takes all of us. Individuals, companies, unions and foundations, each striving to make the Greater St. Louis community a better place to live. Our founders, a small group of volunteers in 1922, had a vision, a powerful idea and desire to help those in need. By banding together, working as one, to give collectively, they could help all.
Each year, through our annual community campaign, we raise funds to support our over 160 nonprofit agency partners and region-wide programs and initiatives. Without United Way funding, some organizations would not have the ability to help as many people. This is why the community campaign is so important – your support means continued funding for local nonprofits and services like the 211 helpline, financial stability initiatives, and racial equity programs.
We amplify impact
Your gift and support of United Way has an incredible impact on our community. Our annual community campaign is the infrastructure to ensure we are there for those who need help now, and those who may need it in the future. Your gift enables United Way to equip over 160 local nonprofits with vital funding and training resources, it helps address regional needs that align with food, shelter, transportation and longer-term support of job training, youth programming, education and counseling. Whether you make a one-time $5 dollar donation, become a monthly donor or member of a leadership society, a better tomorrow starts today. Together we can make our region healthier, resilient, and a more caring place. Unite with Us.
