United Way of Metropolitan Dallas

About UWMD

For 100 years, United Way of Metropolitan Dallas has been the social change organization that unites the community to create opportunity and access for all North Texans to thrive. We bring together passionate change-makers alongside corporate, civic and nonprofit partners to drive lasting change in education, income and health—the building blocks of opportunity. Together, we are building a movement to make Dallas the best place to live, work and raise a family. We invite all North Texans to Live United and be part of our second century of change.

Education

Education can chart a child’s future, opening doors and setting students up for a lifetime of success. Access to education is also closely linked with our other focus areas—income and health—because educational achievement leads to higher incomes, which in turn improves access to health. That’s why we lead and invest in programs that improve access to education so all North Texas students are prepared for the careers of tomorrow.

Income

Financial stability is fundamental. It impacts nearly every part of a person’s life, including education and health, enabling a family to plan for the future, access quality healthcare and support their children’s success in school. We lead and invest in programs that ensure our North Texas neighbors can get and keep better jobs, reduce debt and build their savings.

Health

Good health enables North Texans of every age to thrive. Access to health is closely linked with our other focus areas—education and income—because overall wellbeing affects everything from how well a child can learn to how much an adult will earn. That’s why we lead and invest in programs that improve access to health for all North Texans.
