United Way of Metropolitan Chicago

Stronger Neighborhoods for Chicago through the United Way-McCormick Partnership

History

The United Way-McCormick Partnership for Strong Neighborhoods emphasizes the power of collective impact and is a best-in-class example of neighborhoods working together to create lasting change.

By building on our long-time partnership with the United Way and aligning our work, together we have an opportunity to make a lasting impact in many of Chicago’s hopeful neighborhoods.

In 2010, United Way Metro Chicago expanded its longtime commitment to Chicagoland and established the United Way Metro Chicago Impact Fund with the Robert R. McCormick Foundation.
