$50,000 Goal

Thanks to a generous match from Post Consumer Brands, every gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to $50,000 through November 19, doubling your impact.

Our mission at Greater Twin Cities United Way is to create a community where all people thrive regardless of income, race or place. We focus our work in the areas of housing, food, education and jobs. 

Just like our fellow Minnesotans, Greater Twin Cities United Way is meeting our current moment as a leader and responsive community partner. For more than 100 years, we’ve demonstrated that when we come together, we develop solutions to address the challenges no one can solve alone.


“I can’t think of another organization besides United Way where you can have as broad of an impact in so many positive ways with one focused donation of support.”

– Jerry & Jennifer W.

Your generosity helps:

☎️ Keep the 211 resource helpline available as a vital resource for Minnesotans. Every 2 minutes, a 211 call specialist connects someone in our community to shelter, food, quality childcare and more.

🏠 Neighbors facing homelessness find safe, stable and affordable homes. Every 27 minutes, someone experiencing homelessness secures shelter and support from a Greater Twin Cities United Way partner.

🍽️ Local families access food that is nutritious, culturally relevant and affordable. Once every 43 seconds, a neighbor facing hunger receives groceries or a hot meal from a Greater Twin Cities United Way partner.

🎒 Kids start school ready—and grow up prepared to lead their own future. Last year, more than 13,000 young children and youth received quality childcare or participated in youth development programs with Greater Twin Cities United Way partners.

📈 The people who keep our communities running build skills and grow their careers. Every 20 minutes, a youth or adult started their career path with education, job training or entrepreneurship services from a Greater Twin Cities United Way partner.


“Children are our most precious resource. And to think there are 78,000 young kids unable to get their basic needs met, and the impact that has not just in the short term, but long term. The work United Way is doing to address that is so important.”

– Paul M.


“Systems change is possible. And it’s a grind. It takes time and effort. But the expertise is right in front of us, in the people experiencing barriers to housing right now. When we listen, the solutions are right in front of us.”

— Jay Wagner, Associate Director, Holistic Grantmaking, Greater Twin Cities United Way
