United Way of Metropolitan Dallas

Our Mission

For 100 years, we have united the community to create access and opportunity for all North Texans to thrive.

We believe in the power of unity and equity to bring about lasting change. Together with our committed change-seekers, we’re mobilizing a movement to ensure all our neighbors have access to education, income and health—the building blocks of opportunity.

Why Education, Income and Health?

Education, income and health are essential to ensure every North Texan can thrive. At every stage of life, these three factors determine which doors will open and which opportunities will exist for individuals and their families.

Unfortunately, not all North Texas enjoy equal access to necessities like quality education, a good-paying job and affordable healthcare. That’s why United Way of Metropolitan Dallas works to ensure all our neighbors have access to education, income and health.

Our vision for North Texas

We aspire to a North Texas in which all students graduate high school prepared to succeed in college or career, all families are financially stable, and all our neighbors have access to the tools and resources needed to live longer, healthier lives.
