Pikes Peak United Way believes that every person in our community deserves the opportunity to lead a good quality of life. We are fundraisers, problem solvers and community supporters because this is what it takes to move an individual, a family and a community forward. We've seen incredible things happen when a community comes together, and we can't do it without you.  Gifts will be used for the area of greatest need.

Donations made to the Child Care Fund support our early childhood through middle school initiatives, including Success by 6 partner investments, Dolly Parton Imagination Library, and Colorado Springs Promise before and after school programs.  Minimum donation of $250 qualifies for the Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit, a 50% state tax credit. 

The mission of the Pikes Peak United Way Family Success Center is to serve the entire family and empower community members to become financially stable, grow, and accomplish their goals. The Family Success Center is a place where community partners join together in one convenient location to remove barriers, such as transportation and childcare. Pikes Peak United Way is excited to bring the community together to learn what will make the center effective and life-changing. We envision a place where families and students can achieve their goals by connecting with the resources, training, and support.

This initiative equips students to strive for a better future by promoting education, family involvement, workforce engagement and family stability.
