“I’m honored to serve as Chair of the 2025 United Way Community Campaign.
“For more than a decade, I had the privilege of leading one of our region’s key economic engines — Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). Every day, I witnessed how thoughtful planning, collaboration and shared responsibility could connect people to opportunity and move our community forward.
“That same spirit is what fuels the work of United Way of Greater Cincinnati.
“Under the leadership of Moira Weir — a dedicated social worker and longtime champion for children and families — United Way is driving lasting change through financial empowerment, educational success, and housing security. Together, we are building stronger runways for our neighbors to thrive.
“It’s why I’ve proudly accepted this role. Because when every individual has the tools to succeed, our entire region takes flight.
“If you already support United Way — thank you. We need you.
“And if you haven’t yet joined this movement, now is the time — because it needs you too.“
— Candace McGraw

You can donate online at any time or make a gift during your company’s annual United Way Campaign. Explore other ways to give at: uwgc.org/give.
Giving to an agency provides immediate relief to an individual or family but when you invest in United Way — and your gift is combined with those from thousands of other generous individuals — United Way can substantially invest to solve deep-rooted problems and achieve results no one partner can achieve alone. The result is more people in our community can thrive.
If you are passionate about a specific program or community partner, we encourage you to continue to support them and invest in United Way’s work.
Every dollar helps a neighbor — right here, where it matters most. For example, if you give $10 per pay period (26 installments) it’s enough to connect 13 neighbors in need to food, housing or utility assistance through United Way 211.
United Way of Greater Cincinnati is a federally registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by an individual’s or corporation’s circumstances.
Those contributing through payroll deduction in their workplace should keep a copy of their e-pledge receipt or signed pledge card and maintain their last pay stub of the tax year or Form W-2 from their employer that summarizes the amount withheld for United Way.
For every $1 donated, 84 cents goes back into the community – a ratio that exceeds Better Business Bureau guidelines.
Administrative costs empower a broad team of experts who ensure effective and efficient United Way operations, support corporate relationships, influence public policy and convene resources to develop solutions to our community’s systemic problems.
Neither United Way nor its volunteers believe people should be forced to give. United Way discourages coercion in any form. Pressure defeats the very idea of voluntary giving. Any semblance of pressure – whether real, implied or perceived – is contradictory to United Way’s operating standards.
