United Way of Greater Kansas City

To improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of Greater Kansas City.

Our Work:

United Way of Greater Kansas City’s work is focused on community impact, seeking to improve lives and strengthen communities. While United Way continues its historic role as a fundraiser and investor in effective human services programs, we know we must also do more.

United Way recognizes that there are underlying community challenges that cannot be solved by dollars alone, so we are focusing efforts in several key areas to make even greater impact. In addition to the tremendous contributions our funded programs make, we must place even more emphasis on being a year-round, positive force in community. United Way is doing more than just raising and investing dollars, but also working collaboratively with a whole range of community partners to achieve lasting results.

Education :: Children and youth attain full-potential.
