General Questions

We empower everyone in our region to achieve economic well-being so our entire community can thrive — now and in the future.

We unite a powerful network with a shared purpose: building a better future for our region. We help families achieve stability by connecting them to support and investing in solutions that work. Our efforts focus on three key areas: Educational Success, Financial Empowerment and Housing Security.

We serve nine counties in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana – Hamilton, Brown and Clermont (Southwest Ohio); Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton (Northern Kentucky); Dearborn and Ohio (Southeast Indiana).

United Way served 339,000 people across our region in 2025.

United Way partners with more than 400 community organizations each year.

Simply dial 211 to speak to a trained professional who can connect you to essential community services. Our United Way 211 team will listen, engage, ask questions, assess your needs and connect you to community resources within our large database of local providers.

Giving

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 United Way helps families access more than one service — it helps connect them to a network of support.

United Way invests in programs, connects with hundreds of organizations and advocates for changes that help more people thrive.

Every gift, big or small, helps local families get the support they need.

For example, $15 provides a child with 12 books over the course of a year. $30 provides a student with a backpack full of supplies.

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.

Yes. When you give to United Way, you’re strengthening the community you call home. Every dollar stays local — invested back into programs and services right here, guided by a board of local residents who know the community’s needs best.

As part of a global network, local United Ways contribute a small portion of funds (about 1% of what’s raised) to United Way Worldwide. This gives your local team access to national research, proven strategies and training that make your gift even more effective.

With your generosity and United Way’s expertise, we ensure your neighbors get the help they need — and your community grows stronger.

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.

Impact

View our latest impact report to learn how we work with local organizations, volunteers and advocates to make real progress on issues that matter.

  • Planned Parenthood, abortion and/or pro-choice: United Way of Greater Cincinnati does not actively support programs that work specifically in this space. We have never funded Planned Parenthood. (Grantees are listed on our Form 990). Please note that while United Way of Greater Cincinnati is an independent 501(c)(3), we are part of a network of organizations that use United Way branding. There are other United Ways that do support these issues or organizations with their local fundraising.
  • LGBTQIA+: United Way does not have a specific grant focus on this population. We prioritize funding to community partners focused on supporting populations experiencing financial insecurity. As a result, some funded and/or initiative partners — such as Caracole and Lighthouse Youth & Family Services — address the unique needs of the LGBTQIA+ community. We have improved the resources available in our 211 database to support the needs of this community.
  • Latino or other immigrant communities: United Way does not have a specific grant focus on this population. We prioritize funding to community partners focused on supporting populations experiencing financial insecurity. As a result, some funded and/or initiative partners — such as Every Child Succeeds, Catholic Charities/Su Casa, Islamic Center and Santa Maria Community Services — address the unique needs of the Latino community and other immigrant/refugee populations. We have improved language interpretation for United Way 211 and our Free Tax Prep service.
