YOUR GIVING GOES FURTHER WITH UNITED WAY
We leverage volunteers, donated goods, grants, and resources to more than DOUBLE the impact of your gift. Our comprehensive approach means when you team up with us, your generosity has a greater impact:
$1 Donation = $2.41 Worth of Impact
That means your $50 gift generates $120 in real help for our neighbors right here in south-central Kansas!
IMPACT CREATED BY YOUR DONATION
United Way brings local ideas, people and resources together to make sure everyone – especially the most vulnerable – has the opportunity to thrive. Last year, with the help of partners, volunteers and donors like you, we generated more than 1 MILLION acts of generosity, including:
HEALTH COMMUNITY
Last year, nearly 4,000 of our neighbors saved money on their prescriptions through the SingleCare Discount Card, helping them access vital medications with less impact on their budget.
YOUTH OPPORTUNITY
Last year, 11,615 preschool children received free books monthly through the Imagination Library, helping them develop fundamental literacy skills before they even start school.
FINANCIAL SECURITY
Last year, $7.4 MILLION in tax refunds were returned to low-to-moderate income households through our Free Tax Filing Services. Refunds helped clients cover essential expenses while boosting our local economy.
COMMUNITY RESILIENCE
Last year, 153,001 times Kansans facing crisis and uncertainty were connected to local resources to meet their needs and set them on a path to success through our free, statewide 211 Information and Referral Service.
