Building a Better Community by Uniting People, Ideas, and Resources
United Way is devoting itself to disrupting the cycle of poverty throughout Tucson and Southern Arizona. To do so together, we are building education from cradle to career, providing financial stability for families, and improving the overall health of our community. For every $1 invested in United Way’s Collective Impact Fund, a $5 return is leveraged from partnerships, grants and community support.
United Way’s focused work includes Health, Income, and Education - the building blocks of a good life. TUSD and the families and children in the District are key community partners with United Way and benefit from our working together to change lives. Click on the links below to learn more.
