United Way For Greater Austin

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

We are grateful for all of the United Way ATX
Pre-K Partnerships teachers.

About Us

United Way for Greater Austin brings people, ideas, and resources together to fight poverty in our community. We can only break the cycle of poverty by standing up for racial justice.

That’s why we commit to:

Acknowledging and reconciling our historical role in perpetuating systems of inequality

Interrupting inequitable systems and patterns preventing our community from reaching its full potential

Centering diversity, equity, and inclusion as individuals, as an organization, and with our community

We are deeply resolved to elevate all voices and create a more equitable, inclusive community. Join the journey and Live United!

Join the Journey

Give

When you donate, your dollars stay here to make a real, lasting impact in our community. Every dollar counts.

Advocate

Your voice matters. Speak out for change.

Volunteer

Use your time and talent to create social change, all while you connect to and learn about your community.

Our Focus

Education

Success in life begins with a quality education. That’s why we ensure children get a strong start in life and are ready to succeed in Kindergarten and beyond.

Health

A person’s zip code should not determine their access to quality healthcare. We connect people with affordable healthcare, healthy foods, and basic needs supports so everyone has an opportunity to thrive.

Financial Stability

Families and individuals are facing financial obstacles that prevent them from reaching their full potential. We fight to ensure everyone in our community has the resources and opportunities they need to build a strong financial foundation.
