Fighting for the health, education and financial stability of every member of our community
We’re on a mission to inspire and enable a movement of Waymakers™. Waymakers™ are individuals and organizations who fight for the health, education and financial stability of every member of our community. Thanks to the support of our Waymaker™ community, United Way supports 1 in 3 Kansas Citians each year. Purchasing an item from our online store allows us to continue working towards a future that is brighter for ALL.
We believe in supporting local businesses and are proud to partner with MADE MOBB. MADE MOBB is a streetwear brand rooted in Kansas City, Missouri. All products produced are created with Midwest values in mind: hard work, craftmanship, culture, and community. MADE MOBB has been a dream to collaborate with – bringing United Way’s brand to life in a way that people are proud to wear. Please join us in supporting MADE MOBB by visiting their Crossroads store location or shopping online.
Our Women United Donor Network is a group of female-identifying philanthropists who prioritize giving back and making a difference in our community. Whenever we host an event for this group or do a collaboration, we work with women-owned businesses. We are thrilled to partner with paraMi to launch our Unidas For Change collection. paraMi in Spanish means, for me. paraMi is for the brave, modern woman ready to lead the life she envisions. It’s been an honor to work with the Kansas City Latina-owned apparel brand. Please join us in supporting paraMI by visiting their Independence store location or shopping online.
We live in a world that is increasingly divided, where politics, media and economic factors push us further apart, making us feel isolated. And yet, everyday, there are individuals and organizations choosing to work towards a future that is brighter for us all.
We improve our Kansas City region by focusing our attention and funding in three categories—enhancing educational opportunity, improving healthcare and empowering economic mobility—across six counties in Kansas and Missouri, for maximum impact.
Whether you donate, volunteer or find another way to support our community, we want you to keep working towards a better future, for all. We’re here to help you connect with like-minded philanthropists who also care about our community.
