Small Business Support Program

United for Business Program Update

Mile High United Way is transitioning our United for Business program as we focus on the most effective ways to support our community. We’re proud to have been part of your journey — standing alongside you as your business launched and grew, and supporting you through the challenges and opportunities along the way. Today, with the end of pandemic-era federal funding and a strong network of local organizations providing high-quality support for small businesses, we’ve made the decision to conclude the program.

To support you during this transition, United for Business will continue to offer support and referrals through June 30, 2026. We’ve also compiled a list of trusted organizations offering small business accelerators, coaching, mentorship and workshops across our community. View Small Business Support & Resource List

As we have for more than 138 years, Mile High United Way will continue to stand alongside families in our community, including small business owners and entrepreneurs, on their path to financial security and success. For questions, please email UFB@UnitedWayDenver.org.
