Community Fund

A gift to United Way’s Community Fund allows you to help more people than a gift to a single nonprofit can. United Way experts look for gaps and duplications so Community Fund dollars go to the needs everyone is aware of but also to those needs less obvious but no less important. 

Our community’s problems are interrelated, and only the Community Fund’s diversity of programs work together to address the complex causes of poverty, teen pregnancy, homelessness, and many others – in a way that no single agency, donor, volunteer, or sector of the community can do alone. 

Our strategic focus areas are:

• Health
• Education
• Financial Stability

In addition, we invest in the following community-wide initiatives:

• Asset Building
• Backpack Coalition
• Boys & Men of Color  
• Continuum of Care Coordinated Entry
• Health Improvement Fund
• Healthy Birth Outcomes
• Healthy Youth Initiative
• Helping Kids Succeed Initiative
• Lifecourse Initiative for Healthy Families 
• Milwaukee Community Schools Partnership
• Milwaukee Succeeds
• Opiate Abuse Treatment & Prevention Initiative 
• Readers United
• Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative
• Vello
