Improving Lives and Strengthening our Community since 1923
For more than 100 years, Heart of Arkansas United Way has connected and responded to our community’s needs, strategically mobilizing resources to support well-being, create opportunities for youth, enhance families’ financial security, and foster resiliency. With nearly 20,000 people in Central Arkansas served annually, we are working toward a future where all in our community can thrive.
Heart of Arkansas United Way understands that lasting change isn’t the work of a single nonprofit, company, or volunteer. It’s a collective effort. We are the connectors, strategically uniting leaders, businesses, nonprofits, and community members to help neighbors in need.
