Women United unites like-minded leaders and philanthropists.

Women United provides members a safe, productive place to connect with the individual desire to give. Member’s investment, leadership and dedication further advance its two signature causes: Early Childhood Education and Gender Equity. We advocate on behalf of United Way’s early childhood education priorities, as well as volunteer with community organizations. Every member of Women United has come to the same conclusion: I have more to give.

Stand up for something.

“Standing up for important causes is always easier when you find a community of like-minded people to help you move forward. That’s what I found when I joined Women United, a donor network of United Way of Central Indiana.

-Becky Doemland, Women United steering Committee member 

  • Opportunities to volunteer at organizations that are directly impacted by your dollars

  • Education and learning opportunities that explore the challenges around access to early childhood education and the strategies United Way uses to solve those challenges

  • Advocacy efforts (like our day at the statehouse) that support the early childhood education work within the community and help continue legislation that is positive toward philanthropy

  • Special events that are fun and engaging to Women United members
