People who earn a living wage and have the tools they need to build wealth are able to fulfill their potential and get on a path to financial freedom. Meaningful work helps all people — regardless of age, ability, gender or previous justice system involvement — to have pride and self-confidence. United Way invests in partners committed to building individual skills and developing career opportunities that put employees in a position to succeed on the job and in life.

When you support Moving to Financial Stability, your donation helps:

Improve employment opportunities for people regardless of their gender, race or ability.

Families and individuals below a certain income prepare their taxes and receive the money they have earned.

Connect veterans to adapt and find opportunities as they transition to civilian life.

Provide access to safe and reliable child care that makes meaningful employment possible.
