Our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging:
United Way of Greater Houston is committed to building stronger communities by creating the opportunity for individuals and families to thrive through the creation and funding of programs to address the economic, educational, and assistance disparities caused by generations of systemic institutional racism and other barriers, and to do so in an equitable, reflective manner, regardless of race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, culture, age, physical ability, or lived experience.
