Get Involved

We cannot create change alone. It takes you – our volunteers, donors, group members, and advocates – to make a difference. You can give, you can volunteer, you can be part of advocacy work, you can reach out to others….you tell us how you would like to be a force for change and we will help.

Give

There is no contribution too large or small. Your generous gift makes a real difference for children, families, and neighborhoods in Maricopa County.

Volunteer

We’re making it simple for you to be part of the solution! We’ll provide opportunities to be an activist where ever you are – at home, at work, at school. United Way is dedicated to taking action and we invite you to join us!

Join a Group

Our variety of affinity groups offer an opportunity to band together and fight for a more equitable future in a way that fits your lifestyle, from college students to young professionals, retirees, and everything in between.

Advocate

Learn about the issues surrounding poverty in our community and how we are working with local leaders to drive Mighty Change in our community. Contact your representatives to share your voice.
