United Way of Greater Kansas City is a nonprofit organization that mobilizes people and resources to improve healthcare, expand youth opportunities, foster financial security, and build community resiliency in the Kansas City region. Through its Waymakers initiative, it channels support to more than 700 local nonprofits, aiming to impact a substantial portion of the community each year. The organization is based in Kansas City, Missouri. In recent collaborations, it has partnered with utility providers to deliver utility assistance intended to prevent disconnection and restore service for individuals whose medical conditions could be worsened without utility access, and with Lyft to support the Ride United program. Other partnerships include the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority to preserve access to bus services, and SteadyIQ to advance its initiatives. Its activities also include community events such as Purses for Promise and recognition through Waymaker Awards.
