United Way History
In 1887, a Denver woman, a priest, two ministers, and a rabbi came together around a shared vision: making their community a better place. Their collaboration created the nation’s first united fundraising campaign and sparked a movement that would become United Way.
Since 1948, United Way of Laramie County has worked to strengthen our local community by bringing people, businesses, and nonprofit organizations together to address our community’s greatest needs.
Today, our work focuses on four key areas: Healthy Community, Youth Opportunity, Financial Security, and Community Resiliency. Through local partnerships and community-driven solutions, we work to create opportunities for individuals and families to thrive.
United Way is more than a fundraising organization. We connect people and resources, support meaningful local solutions, and measure our success by the lives we impact. While our approach continues to evolve, our mission remains the same: building a stronger community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
