Our Mission
Mobilize and grow the caring power of our community to create the best quality of life for all of our citizens.
Why Pikes Peak United Way?
As a leader in our community, PPUW is an organization with the capacity to successfully serve as a change agent by addressing immediate needs AND working to provide long-term solutions.
It's local. Our strategy helps the most vulnerable people in El Paso and Teller Counties. Over 130,000 lives were improved last year through your support.
It's efficient. PPUW is one of less than 20 United Ways that has a Cornerstone Program. Local corporations and foundations underwrite all fundraising and administrative costs, allowing 100% of every dollar that we receive to go directly to programs and services to help those in need.
It's effective. Agency programs are assessed by over 100 business and civic volunteers both prior to and after funding to make sure your donations are used to meet the greatest needs in our community, providing measurable results.
It's easy. You choose the way you want to get involved. Donate by cash, check, credit card, or payroll deduction. Advocate nationally or locally. Volunteer through VolunteerPikesPeak.org.
