Women United
Uniting women and harnessing their collective power to create meaningful, lasting change as philanthropists, role models, and leaders.
What We Do:
Women United supports working households in York County on their path to financial stability, starting with what matters most: access to affordable, high-quality child care.
Through our investments in Early Childhood Education Scholarships, we help households stay employed, children thrive in learning environments, and families build stronger futures.

1. Why should I join Women United?
You are joining a growing group of like-minded women who are working together to make a real difference for households in York County. Your gift fuels local solutions to the biggest barriers being faced by ALICE. You assist hardworking households on their journey toward financial stability. It's a chance to leverage your generosity and multiply your impact.
2. What are the benefits of joining Women United?
Whether you engage through attending events or simply through your giving, you are part of something powerful
Benefits include:
- Invitations to quarterly events that connect you with the mission and other passionate changemakers
- Exclusive updates about the impact of your gift
- Opportunities to volunteer, lead, and grow your network
- A deeper connection to your community and deeper fulfillment in your involvement with the local community
3. I cannot attend the quarterly events. Why would I join?
It is a community of innovators committed to building a stronger York County. While events are a great way to connect, they are not the reason to give. The events are optional; the mission is what united us. Your support helps build brighter futures for local children and families - that's why you join.
4. How much do I need to donate to become a member?
A donation of $500 or more to United Way of York County qualifies you as a Women United member. Every dollar stays local and helps create lasting change. You can also become a member through our step-up program, committing to reach the $500 annual giving level within 3 years. In some cases, your employer may sponsor you as an individual. Check with your workplace to see if a corporate sponsorship is available for you.
5. What does my donation support?
Unless otherwise directed, your gift will support early childhood education scholarships. This helps with access to high-quality, affordable early childhood education, ensuring more children are cared for in safe, nurturing environments while their parents work. You are empowering working households on their journey towards financial stability.
6. Can I direct my donation to another United Way of York County focus area?
Yes. While Women United champions early childhood education scholarships, your gift can be designated to: Impact, Transportation, or Financial Wellness
7. Do I have to volunteer or serve on a committee to be involved?
No. While we offer volunteer and leadership opportunities, your level of engagement is entirely up to you. Some members simply give financially, and others choose to donate their time as well.
