Grounded in Purpose
and Community

Women United members form a diverse, vibrant, and impactful community, bound together by a powerful sense of belonging - to United Way's mission, and to this place we all call home. This Affinity group recognizes influential women who invest $1,000 or more annually.

They empower each other to leverage their passions, ideas, expertise, and resources to develop solutions to our community's most pressing issues. Locally, they focus on strengthening our community by supporting students and families through community schools. To date, more than 200 members have contributed over $350,000 in support of our community.
