    As of January 1, 2022 United Way of Williamson County and United Way for Greater Austin have merged. United Way for Greater Austin brings people, ideas, and resources together to fight poverty in our community.

    United Way for Greater Austin exists to solve our community's biggest challenges. Austin often tops the lists of best cities to live. A great place to raise a family, a healthy local economy, a city poised for future growth - these are just some of the honors given to our metro area. And we agree… we love it too! But not everyone in our community is sharing in the promise of Austin. Yet.

    Many of us are working hard, but still struggling to make ends meet. 1 in 10 households in the Austin area is considered low-income, and race and zip code are some of the biggest predictors of a person's life outcomes. United Way spurs systems-level change, shaping our metro area into a community that works for everyone.
