What We Do
Building stronger communities through Mile High United Way.
For more than 120 years Mile High United Way has successfully tapped into the power of collective generosity to provide creative, long-term solutions to meet the most pressing needs in the metropolitan area. 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 life, through three interconnected areas of change: School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self Sufficiency.
How We Do It
| Three Interconnected Initiatives: |
 |
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 age birth. MHUW invests in programs that ensure young children in low income families enter school ready to succeed and are prepared for a lifetime of learning. |
 |
Youth Success:
Engage and motivate in school. To make it to graduation, at-risk youth need more guidance and support to help them make wise choices, stay in school and graduate. MHUW invests in programs that help school-age; low-income and under-served youth succeed academically and graduate from high school and go on to higher education opportunities. |
 |
Adult Self Sufficiency:
Empower individuals and families to succeed. We provide opportunities for hardworking individuals to become financially stable and provide a better future for their families. MHUW invests in programs that ensure low income and individuals and families are afforded the opportunity to move toward economic self-sufficiency. |
| Three Investment Strategies:
1. We invest in a network of over 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. Mile High United Way-led programs that 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.
