Partners convene at Northern Kentucky University.

CINCINNATI (July 10, 2025) – United Way of Greater Cincinnati is pleased to announce its investment of $15.5 million in 125 community partners. Their work aligns with our key focus areas: educational success, financial empowerment and housing security — all essential building blocks of a thriving community where everyone can achieve economic well-being. This funding represents only a portion of United Way’s $40.1 million planned investment in program services, community initiatives and partner grants in the next year.

Funded partners range from community-centered organizations addressing immediate needs to those driving long-term transformational initiatives. Together, they form a collaborative network of support that can uplift communities in ways no program or organization can alone.

“Our partners inform our work and ensure our collective efforts are truly responsive to community needs,” said Moira Weir, President and CEO, United Way of Greater Cincinnati. “Together, we can meet today’s critical needs while also working to get upstream, tackling underlying causes of recurring challenges more directly.”

The organizations below are among hundreds funded by United Way in various capacities. To view a complete list of funded partners, visit uwgc.org/funded-partners.
