Community Priorities
Mile High United Way Supports Families
Through three interconnected Community Priorities — giving all children a strong start, supporting education and academic success, and creating economic opportunity for all — we make a meaningful difference in the lives of those with greatest need in our community.
Our Community Priorities

Giving all children a strong start
Ensuring all children enter kindergarten ready to succeed.
SUPPORTING EDUCATION AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS
Building educational success through partnerships schools, families, and communities.


CREATING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL
Ensuring people can meet their basic needs and have opportunities to move toward economic success.
OUR STORIES





We believe our communities are strongest when small, local businesses thrive. Through our Personal Investment Enterprise (PIE) program, we’re investing in small business owners, like Shellby, to support their dreams of growth.
From connecting families to quality early childhood education and supporting migrant families to helping middle- and low-income residents access valuable tax credits, we are working toward a brighter future for all Coloradans.
This year, our United for Business team is launching new initiatives and events to support capacity building through intensive skills-development. Learn how we’re helping our small business community thrive!
Today is International Women’s Day! The theme for this year is #EmbraceEquity, a theme that sits at the very heart of our mission. Learn how Mile High United Way supports women and girls through our Women United Initiative and how you can get involved.
During the 2023 Colorado State Legislative Session, Mile High United Way is supporting two bills that align with our community priorities, House Bill 23-1091 and Senate Bill 23-082.
