Give Back MKE 2022: United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha Count

These local organizations are doing great work in our city – and they need your support.

What We Do:

United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County changes lives and improves the community by mobilizing people and resources to drive strategic impact in health, education and financial stability. 

• United Way brings people together. Donors, volunteers, government leaders, local nonprofits and leaders in education work together to solve some of the most pressing issues that people face every day.    

• United Way also focuses on big issues through their key initiatives. One of those initiatives is Safe & Stable Homes, with a goal to end family homelessness by 2023. Last year, more than 6,000 parents used Safe & Stable Homes programs to remain stably housed. This work has created systemic change in our courts, our classrooms and our shelters.

Where Your Money Goes: 

• Donations stay local, and support programs at local nonprofits.  

• At the heart of United Way is the Community Fund. When donors make a gift to this fund, their contribution is combined with thousands of other donors. These dollars are used to fund programs at nonprofits throughout the region. The Community Fund supports over 200 programs at over 100 nonprofits.

• The goal of United Way is simple: help people live better lives. The 2022 United Way campaign in now underway with a goal to raise $57 million.
