United Way of Greater Atlanta

We were thrilled to partner with The NCR Foundation to support the incredible presentations at this year's STEMup Youth Maker Competition. As Yvonne Whitaker, NCR Foundation Director, said, “these ideas are going to make a difference in the community.” Thanks to NCR's additional funding, this year’s winners received the extra support they needed to bring their innovative projects to life! Our collaboration was dedicated to providing opportunities for people in the communities where we work and live. By supporting #STEM initiatives like STEMUp, you help youth from all backgrounds develop skills critical to technological advancement and innovation. This teamwork not only helps cultivate their ideas but also has a positive impact on our community as these students contribute to making Greater Atlanta an even better place to live and thrive. #uniteformore

A huge thank you to Cox Enterprises and all the employees who came together to pack 1,000 backpacks filled with school supplies for Boys & Girls Clubs of America students. Your hard work means so much! These backpacks will help kids from elementary to high school get ready for a great school year. By giving them the supplies they need, we're helping them focus on learning and dreaming big! #uniteformore

#EmployeeSpotlight Meet Danyelle Buford, Learning Spaces Coordinator on the Strong Learners team! The MORE Danyelle is working for is ensuring more accessible Learning Spaces. “I would love to see more intention behind building early education programs that will benefit children and families in the long run.” Thank you for all your hard work, Danyelle!

Tracye Neal, a mother of three, found a permanent home in 2019 after nearly two years in a hotel, thanks to St. Vincent de Paul Georgia's Motel to Home assistance efforts. Today, she’s the first point of contact for those seeking housing services, offering support, guidance, and resources to help applicants gain stable housing. With economic instability causing record-breaking homelessness and a 50% increase in unsheltered individuals from 2015 to 2023, Tracye's story is just one of many accounts in Greater Atlanta. We're committed to making a difference through our Motel to Home initiative.

Amid dual pandemics, local students are in greater need for mental health care. Check out this Georgia Public Broadcasting article to hear how our partner CHRIS 180 has stepped up to provide that care at no cost to students. When you donate, this is the type of work you make possible. 

This past weekend, volunteers across Greater Atlanta united for our Day of Action! Through impactful projects like campus beautification, creating cards for veterans, assembling care kits for distribution, and collecting school supplies for the upcoming back-to-school season, we made a lasting difference. Service to our local community is vital—it fosters connections, supports those in need, and builds a brighter future for everyone. Thank you again to everyone who came out and lent a helping hand.

Just two months after Tax Day, we’re excited to share the impact of our free VITA tax prep program this year. With $11.2 million in refunds going back to local families, we’re grateful to all the volunteers who made it happen. Their hard work helped families keep more of their money and build wealth. Thank you, Greater Atlanta, for trusting us with your tax preparation needs! #uniteformore

We know that unlocking the potential of Atlanta's students means providing them with opportunities to envision their future possibilities! Our 6th Annual African-American Partnership Day of Service accomplished just that, celebrating community involvement and expanding access to STEAM-related careers. Middle and high school students enjoyed a morning of workshops and mentoring, followed by a career expo on the campus of Atlanta Technical College. AAP members and other corporate volunteers started the day networking and then guided over 100 students through literacy and #STEAM sessions. From interactive booths and creative projects to hands-on experiments and team-building exercises, students were exposed to a wide array of pathways to explore and ignite their passions. Thank you to all the mentors, presenters, students, and sponsors including Delta Air Lines, Atlanta Gas Light, Cox Enterprises, Deluxe, AT&T, and Norfolk Southern.
