Why Give

United Way brings together people, companies and nonprofits to create positive sustainable change in our community. We work to solve issues no single donor, charity, or government agency can handle alone. By focusing on education, financial stability and health, we help more children graduate and get stable jobs, help families become financially stable and improve the overall health of our community.

For more than 80 years, United Way has been serving the Greater Topeka area. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed and we believe in the potential of every human being. Since 1980, United Way has invested $110 million into the community. Learn more about our history here.
