UNITED WAYS OF KANSAS

Mobilizing communities across Kansas to action so all can thrive.

United Ways of Kansas is a statewide association of local United Ways working together to strengthen communities and improve lives across our state. By uniting resources, sharing best practices, and amplifying a collective voice at the state and national level, we support local United Ways in their efforts to advance youth opportunities, financial security, healthy communities, and community resiliency for every Kansan. Together, we drive impact that no single organization could achieve alone.

OUR IMPACT

From strengthening local resilience to advancing health, education, and financial security, we’re working towards a future where every person in every community can thrive.
