For years, we’ve called on our community to Live United—to come together, give back, and build a stronger region for all. That call remains at the heart of who we are. But as the needs around us grow more complex, so does our response. Today, we’re moving forward with a renewed purpose: United Is The Way.
"It’s not just a slogan—it’s a declaration that unity isn’t just how we act, it’s who we are. From strengthening local resilience to advancing health, youth opportunity, and financial security, Capital Area United Way is mobilizing communities into action so that everyone, everywhere, has the opportunity to thrive. The name has evolved, but the mission remains: when we stand united, we create real long-lasting generational change."
