Why United Way?
Because of our history
Serving our region since 1931, United Way of Northwest Arkansas is built to harness the collective power and the generosity of the community to empower Northwest Arkansans to thrive in a new era of health and well-being for all.
Because we advocate for the community
We empower our community to thrive while directly improving their lives through focused efforts, convene problem-solvers, and uplift our community by addressing conditions that pose immediate barriers to long-term vibrancy.
Because we can do more together
Through the United Way, your contribution is joined with others to have a more meaningful impact on our community with a focus to improve education, financial stability, and health for everyone. You will be helping invest in local solutions to make life better for our neighbors.
