Celebrating Five Years of Community Impact
Five years ago, the MacKenzie Scott Foundation made a transformational $20 million gift to Mile High United Way, and today, we’re celebrating all that those funds have created – four early childhood education centers, critical neighborhood investments during the pandemic, the purchase and renovation of an affordable transitional apartment building, and enhanced wraparound services for families throughout Metro Denver.

Building Lasting Community Partnerships
Five years ago, we were humbled and thankful for Ms. Scott’s show of confidence in our work. We remain humbled and thankful today, as well as proud for all our community has accomplished to support Colorado’s children and families well into the future.
