On October 16, 1887, a Denver woman, priest, two ministers and a rabbi came together because they believed there was a better way to meet the needs of local residents. They founded the Charity Organization Society, now known as United Way. We've had many names over the years but one mission: to build communities where all can thrive. Thank you for 137 years of support. We owe so much to our donors, volunteers and partners.

Heather Black, Vice President, 211 System Strategy recently visited Cary, North Carolina for NC 211 media day. Her connections to the state and to United Way run deep. Heather formerly served as Vice President at United Way of North Carolina for eight years before joining United Way Worldwide where she currently oversees strategy for the 211 network. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, NC 211 has played a vital role in coordinating humanitarian aid and searches for missing persons. The 211 network, supported by United Way, is an information and referral service that connects people to verified social service providers for basic needs such as housing, utilities, food, healthcare, transportation and more.

United Way President and CEO Angela F. Williams, JD, M.Div embodies a life of social impact - from growing up as the daughter of civil rights leaders to fighting for the health, education, and financial stability of every community.
"I’m the daughter of civil rights leaders. My father worked closely with Dr Martin Luther King Jr and was also the head of the NAACP for South Carolina. In 1957, My father wrote a powerful letter urging pastors to be courageous and stand up against injustice. Growing up in such a household instilled those ideals in me. That’s a part of who I am." Angela F. Williams, JD, M.Div is the President and CEO of United Way Worldwide. With over three decades of leadership in the nonprofit and corporate sectors, her impactful contributions led to her inclusion in Forbes’ prestigious 2021 ‘50 Over 50: Impact’ list of women creating social change at scale. At the One Young World Summit in Belfast, we asked Williams what she thinks makes a good leader, the social issues she feels passionately about addressing, and the message she would give to the next generation of leaders.
