Your contributions to United Way can help us, too, when you direct funds to the Community Care general campaign, or name one or more non-profits to receive your gift. Contact your local United Way for details.

Matching gifts

150+ companies in metro KC have matching gift programs, meaning you may be able to double the value of your gift. Ask your HR department for a matching gift form, then mail with your check. We’ll take it from there!
