United Way of Central Maryland, Inc.

About Us It takes more than just one person or one agency to make a difference. It takes a community.

For more than 80 years, United Way of Central Maryland has been a proud part of that process.

Dedicated to creating opportunities that change the region for the better by tackling long-term social problems, United Way is dedicated to building stronger people. Stronger families. Stronger neighborhoods.

Education, income and health and safety are a vital part of that formula.

When children get the early care they need, they succeed in school. When young adults graduate, they have the tools to find a job. When families have the means to afford safe and stable housing, they thrive. When men, women and children are safe from violence and abuse in their relationships, they are happy and healthy.

This is what United Way strives for.

You’re an integral part of that process. This is your neighborhood - your community – it’s up to you to help make the change.

Through our work in philanthropy, advocacy and volunteering, we’re helping you find a role and voice in your central Maryland.

From workplace giving campaigns in more than 800 companies and community level work done by our 47 impact partners to longstanding work with the public and private sectors and our role as a 24 hour a day, seven day a week reference – United Way of Central Maryland has something for everyone. More than 3,000 individuals volunteer their time – sharing experience and energy to make a difference.

Give, advocate or volunteer and see what it feels like to LIVE UNITED.
