Women United is a network of more than 1,200 women across Dane County who are driven, generous and deeply committed to uplifting others. With a mission to help more women and their families find pathways toward financial security, we pride ourselves on being a safe space for women to come together to amplify our collective impact.  

Through gifts of $1,000 or more annually, Women United members invest in a community where more women can succeed and reach their potential. Through our collective investment, we empower United Way to create real change for women and their families through the Financial Security pillar of the Plan for Community Well-Being. And our personal and professional development events provide thoughtful time and space for members to set and achieve goals while building a supportive network of women who care about our community.
