Everyone wants to live in Central Texas. But we’re facing a cost of living crisis.
Many of us are working hard, but still struggling to make ends meet.
Economic inequality casts a long, formidable shadow, and its impact keeps us all from having the vibrant and thriving community we want for ourselves and our children. United Way for Greater Austin stands at the forefront of this critical issue. We recognize the pressing need to break the relentless cycle of economic disparity that grips our community, understanding that every moment we wait, the divide widens and more lives are forever impacted.
At United Way, we’re creating a vibrant and economically secure space for everyone.
Why We Build Opportunity For All
Because when one of us suffers, we all suffer. And when everyone reaches their full potential, our entire community benefits and thrives.
United Way focuses on initiatives that are designed to jump-start and maintain sustainable solutions for families with low income, and drives systemic change by aligning public and private support. We believe in investing in solutions that provide people with the skills and resources they need to take an active role in their own success.
