Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

WE ARE A COMMUNITY UNITED. THIS HAS BECOME OUR MANTRA, OUR MOTTO, AND OUR CALL-TO-ACTION.

Mile High United Way believes that our community and our country can only succeed when we are united, and that every individual must receive equal opportunity to pursue their dreams and maintain their livelihood.

We are committed to inclusion across all dimensions including race, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, physical or mental abilities. This enables us to effectively and authentically address our communities’ most pressing needs.

Our Commitment

An outward and intentional commitment to inclusion across all dimensions including race, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, physical or mental ability enables us to effectively and authentically address our communities’ most pressing needs.

Mile High United Way respects, values and celebrates the visible and non-visible unique attributes, characteristics, experiences, and perspectives of every person. We recognize the unique needs and opportunities across Colorado and seek to engage all voices, to co-create more equitable communities.
