2025 United Way

Stronger families. Brighter futures. Real impact.

When you give to United Way of Greater Cincinnati, you are helping local families overcome barriers and create lasting change. Through programs like Project LIFT, your gift provides both immediate relief and long-term tools for success. Whether it is help covering rent, navigating childcare, or returning to school, your support empowers people to rebuild their lives and their futures.

Tynesha, a mother of two, was working full-time and attending nursing school when the pandemic nearly derailed everything. She got sick, her daughters missed school, and money was tight. But thanks to Project LIFT, Tynesha got help with tuition and rent — and the encouragement to keep going. Today, she’s a licensed nurse, her children are thriving, and she’s giving back to others. “You helped make my dreams come true,” she says.

Your gift supports three pillars of economic well-being that drive long-term impact across our region:

Educational Success: From early childhood through adulthood, United Way invests in programs that help students learn, grow, graduate, and find careers. Because every child deserves a strong start and a bright future.

Brighter futures.Financial Empowerment: Families receive tools and resources to build lasting financial stability — from job training to budgeting support — so they can move beyond crisis and toward independence.

Housing Security: United Way helps ensure families have a safe, stable place to live by removing barriers to housing and connecting them with the support they need to stay housed and healthy.

Your generosity creates real impact — not just for today, but for generations to come. Give today and help a neighbor move from surviving to thriving.
