United Way

Mission

United Way of Metropolitan Dallas treats 360 degrees of need. We tackle complex social problems by surrounding North Texas with programs that make real progress in the areas of Education, Income, and Health—the essential components of a thriving community.

With support from Funders Together Houston, The Frees Foundation, and The Simmons Foundation, the Houston Police Department created a Homeless Outreach Team and documented their efforts in a documentary called The Shepherds in Blue.

On March 10, the Los Angeles Homeless Funders Group hosted nearly 50 foundations to talk about the role of funders networks and collaboratives in preventing and ending homelessness.

In 2011, Funders Together launched the regional affiliate group, Funders Together Houston. The regional affiliate group comprises public-sector, faith-based, and private funders as well as corporate partners. The group also includes an Advocacy Working Group and a Public/Private Partnerships Working Group.
