For nearly 100 years, United Way of Metropolitan Dallas has led a movement to improve access to education, income and health for every North Texan. Of course, new challenges emerge every year, and our organization must be able to address the unexpected and serve our community for generations to come.

To meet these future needs, in 2014 we launched Unite Forever, our first endowment campaign, with a goal of raising $100 million in 10 years. The mission was to establish a base of permanent funding for United Way that will provide a predictable, sustainable and stable future.

We are proud to announce that we have closed the $100 million Unite Forever campaign three years earlier than planned.

This is an incredible achievement made possible by our loyal supporters who believe in our mission and wanted to ensure the ability to deliver on that commitment for years to come. As we celebrate this historic moment in our history, we want to offer a heartfelt thanks to everyone who is part of the Live United movement: our donors, advocates and volunteers who are leading change in our community. Together, we will create opportunity for all North Texans to thrive—for generations to come.
