Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We are a Community United. This has become our mantra, our motto, and our call-to-action.

For 133 years, Mile High United Way has believed that a community and a 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.
