United For Business
Mile High United Way’s United for Business program supports locally-owned small businesses and strengthens under-resourced communities.
Strengthening under-resourced communities by helping small, locally-owned businesses realize their growth potential
With an emphasis on women- and minority-owned businesses and entrepreneurs, United for Business provides direct services and specialized assistance that help promote the attraction, retention, and expansion of quality jobs in the Denver Metro area.
The program works collaboratively with individual business owners, many of whom are in the Globeville, Elyria-Swansea (GES) neighborhood, to understand their needs and utilizes professional services and skills-based volunteers, or Business Advisors, to help owners reach their goals.
Learn more about our small business clients and how the program has helped their business in our 2020-2021 Impact Report.
