Greater Mankato Area United Way Campaign

Give Where You Live

Please join us as we work to ensure the well-being, stability and self-sufficiency of individuals of all ages. By focusing on the areas of Basic Needs, Health and Education, we can keep our region strong now and for years to come.

Last year, our United Way programs and initiatives served more than 65,000 people.
We had more than 1,700 regional volunteers.
90+ community volunteers vet where your dollars go and ensure they are being used wisely.
Our United Way convenes the community and facilitates action around issues such as literacy, sex trafficking prevention, substance use disorder advocacy, suicide prevention, youth mental health and more.

In 2025, our United Way will support 65 programs and initiatives. Click here for the full list.
