TOGETHER, WE HELP OUR COMMUNITY THRIVE

United Way of Greater Cincinnati believes in the power of community. Our mission is simple yet ambitious: empower everyone in our region to achieve economic well-being so the entire community can thrive – now and in the future. We focus on providing both immediate relief and long-term solutions to the most pressing issues our community faces. 

United Way of Greater Cincinnati is so much more than a fundraiser. We are passionate advocates, dedicated to driving lasting impact through targeted community investments, policy and direct services. By embedding ourselves in the community, listening and gathering data, we ensure the challenges families face today aren’t holding back the generations of tomorrow.

OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT WORK FOCUSES ON 3 PILLARS OF ECONOMIC WELL-BEING: EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS, FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT & HOUSING SECURITY

EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS

Success in life begins with a quality education, and we believe educational opportunity should be accessible to all children, regardless of their ZIP code. Yet thousands of children and youth lack the support they need to read at grade level, stay on track in school, graduate from high school and find a career. 

We strive to improve the odds so tomorrow’s leaders can build a better foundation today. Our solutions help children get a strong start in life, ensuring teenagers have the tools necessary to learn and grow, and providing resources to young adults so they can thrive in the job market.

FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT

We’re committed to ensuring that everyone in our community has a path to financial stability and growth. Financial empowerment goes beyond meeting immediate needs — it’s about building long-term security and creating lasting opportunities for individuals and families to thrive. 

By providing people with the tools, resources and support to make informed financial decisions, we strengthen not just individual lives but also the economic health of our entire region.

HOUSING SECURITY

Everyone deserves a safe and stable foundation to build their lives. We empower families to create a secure environment where they can thrive. By dismantling the obstacles to housing stability, we strive to create a community where everyone has the chance to prosper.

When families have secure and stable housing, the benefits ripple throughout their lives and the generations that follow: health improves, children excel in school and adults find greater success in the workplace.
