Longstanding community ties and time-tested leadership draw partners in.
Government agencies, private foundations, and large businesses that are looking to fund solutions for Alaska’s most pressing challenges often turn to United Way of Anchorage. For 70 years, we’ve established the value of our one-of-a-kind approach. Funders trust our responsibility and effectiveness in meeting needs.
As an anchor institution in our state’s largest community, United Way has both a three-feet and 30,000-feet view of Alaskans’ needs.
Our breadth, depth, and longevity put us in the right position to implement, track, and deliver positive outcomes in communities across Alaska. United Way is regularly called on to research options, administer resources, and pilot or operate programs. Every step we take reinforces the cycle: Trust United Way to produce successful results, benefit from our community-tested successes, and ask us to do more for Alaska.
