Believe that together we can build a better community. 

There are issues and problems within our community that are bigger than we are and impossible to solve on our own. No single organization or individual can tackle these issues without help. That’s where Mile High United Way comes in. 

Combining the collective strength of more than 40,000 donors, 800 local businesses, 100 non-profit partners and local and state government, Mile High United Way is leading the movement for positive change. Together we deliver lasting solutions for individuals and families in the metropolitan area. Together we can do what none of us can do alone.  

Making A Difference

We’ve been making a difference for more than 120-years. At Mile High United Way we see the full circle of life and concentrate on helping people of all ages, in every stage of their lives, through three interconnected areas of change: School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self Sufficiency. 

School Readiness - Set the Course for Success! Young children are more likely to succeed throughout their school years if they attend high-quality early childhood care and education programs beginning at birth. Mile High United Way invests in programs that ensure young children in low income families enter school ready to succeed and are prepared for a lifetime of learning.

How We Do It
Collaboration, cooperation and partnership are keys to Mile High United Way’s success through our three investment strategies:

1)  We invest in a network of more than 100 nonprofits throughout the metropolitan area to deliver direct services every day.

2)  We convene nonprofit, government, corporate and community partners to work together on vital large-scale programs that touch even more lives. Programs include: Denver’s Road Home, Lights On After School and L:earn.

3)  We innovate. Mile High United Way-led programs meet the metropolitan area’s most pressing needs. Programs include: Mile High United Way’s 2-1-1, Bridging the Gap and Making Connections Denver.
