Programs

Our programs bring people, resources, and solutions together to help Alaskans thrive.

United Way of Anchorage responds to community needs with programs that strengthen stability, improve well-being, and expand opportunity. Challenges like housing insecurity, barriers to health care, educational disparities, and financial strain are connected. That’s why we bring a comprehensive approach to every challenge, working across systems and alongside partners to support people in practical, lasting ways.

Impact Areas

We focus on Financial Security, Healthy Community, and Youth Opportunity to help Alaskans meet their needs.

At United Way of Anchorage, we know strong communities have what people need to thrive: Sufficient income, stable housing, health care access, quality education, and support during difficult times. Our impact areas advance efforts that strengthen our community and help individuals and families move forward.

Initiatives

Since our first Community Campaign, we’ve led successful initiatives.

United Way of Anchorage has incubated, tested, and delivered some of the most well-known successes in Anchorage. We have more than 75 examples to showcase, and each effort succeeded because Alaskans partnered together to help improve our community. Representing different organizations and causes from 1956 until now, people collaborate under United Way’s leadership to drive initiatives that build a community where everyone can thrive.
