Uniting Community for children and youth
Not every child in Larimer County starts with the same opportunities. One in three households struggle to afford basics, and too many students fall behind in reading or feel disconnected at school. United Way unites families, schools, and partners to change that, investing in child care, early learning, literacy, and graduation success so each and every child can thrive.
Opportunity Starts Here
In just one year, thousands of children gained stability at home, support in school, and the chance to thrive. That’s the power of your generosity. With your support, we can reach even more kids.

REAL STORIES
When children have access to high-quality early learning programs, they start reading earlier, are more likely to graduate high school, and experience higher earnings into adulthood. Thanks to United Way, Teaching Tree is quadrupling its early childhood learning spots in Loveland, ensuring more kids receive affordable, high-quality care and empowering more parents to enter the workforce and achieve financial stability. Teaching Tree is grateful to lean on United Way for fundraising support, allowing us to focus on providing excellent services to our students and their families.

"Loveland Youth Gardeners (LYG) is fortunate enough to join the Loveland Youth Campus. Being part of this campus has opened up new partnership opportunities for LYG that are helping us drive systems-level change through collaboration. The Loveland Youth Campus is not only an investment in the lives of young people and the adults working hard to raise them, but it is a launchpad for what is possible when nonprofit organizations come together to leverage ideas and resources for the betterment of all."
