This was the beginning of a movement that is now present in 45 countries around the world and 125 years later, United Way advances the common good throughout the world and makes a better life for all members of local communities where it is present.
At the core of our beliefs is that everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health. That’s why United Way’s work is focused on the three building blocks for a good life: Education, Income and Health.
Every year, corporate partner companies and their employees, donors and volunteers, contribute with $5.09 billion and 25 million volunteer hours each year to create opportunities for a better life for all, making United Way the largest private nonprofit in the world.
