United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County
United Way is more than just a fundraiser. We collaborate with individuals and organizations to tackle our community's most pressing issues. We connect people who want to help to people in need. We assist local organizations in meeting their social responsibility goals and connect people of all ages and abilities to opportunities to give back to their community.
At United Way, we know that our community’s issues are broad and vast; they’re an enormous challenge for one single nonprofit to address. We also know many of these issues are interrelated–issues like health concerns, educational road blocks, and financial struggles. Donations to the Community Fund help United Way find innovative solutions to these issues and call everyone in our four-county region to action.
United Way convenes resources, volunteers, experts, and other service providers for short-term relief and long-term success.

Below is a breakdown of how donations are invested in the community.
As COVID-19 swept the nation, many of us closed our doors and prepared to stay safe at home. But for some, the pandemic only added to the challenges they face every single day. Many of our nonprofit partners remained open, offering essential services and supplies to individuals and families in need throughout our four-county area.
