Imagine A Community Where…
Every child deserves access to a high-quality education from cradle to career. Every adult should have the opportunity to thrive financially and professionally. And every older adult should be able to retire and age with dignity and independence.
You can help make this vision a reality and shape the future of Tucson and Southern Arizona.
To build on over a century of impact, United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona has established the Centennial Endowment Fund, with a goal of reaching a $25 million endowment. This fund is designed to sustain our Community Impact Fund and drive lasting change for the next 100 years.
A $25 million endowment, paying a 5% annual return, will ensure vital community programs are sustained, operational needs are met, and Tucson is prepared to grow and adapt to the needs of future generations. Your support will create a legacy of opportunity and well-being for all.
