United Way of Greater Kansas City invests in a wide range of health and human services that together comprise our community’s social service safety net. This includes a range of service delivery modalities including direct services, systems-level interventions and policy advocacy. We also make investments in the continuum of services from crisis response, intervention, prevention and developmental approaches. However, United Way does not fund everything in the nonprofit ecosystem. The types of organizations listed above are outside the core health and human service focus. As a prospective applicant, you are encouraged to review United Way’s Impact pillars: Healthy Communities, Youth Opportunity, Financial Security & Community Resiliency for insights into how the work of your organization aligns with United Way’s health and human service focus. Please enter comments below if you still feel that your organization meets the Impact 100 eligibility.
