Supporting Families. Strengthening Communities.

Since 1887, Mile High United Way has brought people together to solve the most pressing challenges facing our community. As the first United Way in the world, we continue that legacy today. We believe lasting change happens when solutions are shaped by the people closest to the challenges. That’s why we listen, adapt and work alongside communities to create programs that respond to real needs.
