Key Initiatives

Main Content

At United Way, we invest in the building blocks of a strong, thriving community: stable homes, access to quality careers, digital opportunity, and mental wellness for high school students.

Our Key Initiatives meet people where they are, break down barriers, and create pathways to success. Together, we are doing more than responding to immediate needs—we are driving lasting change and building a stronger future for everyone.

Our Key Initiatives each have a time-bound, community changing goal for Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington, and Waukesha counties.

Please wait while we gather your results.
