Every contribution to the United Way creates ripples of positive change throughout our community. Your support means children get the tools they need to learn and thrive. Families have access to nourishing food and stable housing. Community members can build strong financial foundations for long-term success. Thanks to the generosity of people like you, United Way efforts have already raised over $922,560 and helped over 7.4k neighbors across Greater New Haven since July of 2025.
These aren’t just statistics—they’re our neighbors whose lives are being transformed because Yale employees chose to give back.
See Our Impact
From helping students succeed in school to ensuring seniors have access to critical resources, United Way programs are creating lasting change right here at home.
There are many ways to get involved:
- Donate: Make a one-time gift or set up payroll deductions that spread your impact throughout the year.
- Host an Event: Organize a fundraiser in your department. Bake sales, competitions, creative events—they all build community while raising funds. Need some inspiration? Learn more about how two Yale-United Way champions at the Yale Center for British Art are making a big impact.
- Volunteer: Find local opportunities to volunteer solo or with your colleagues as a group.
Every gift matters. Every volunteer hour counts. Together, we can make a real impact on our community.
