Day 15 give was to the United Way of the National Capital Area, which serves DC, Northern VA, and Montgomery & Prince George's County MD. United Way is a nonprofit organization that highlights, unlike any around here, the interconnectedness of our region and the people who live here.

Focusing on the critical areas of Education, Income and Health – the building blocks of a good quality of life – United Way and our member charities not only provide immediate relief of social problems affecting our community, but also works to alleviate the underlying causes of these issues.

United Way NCA coordinates one of the largest annual fundraising campaigns in the country, providing our member charities with access to over 3,000 work sites and hundreds of thousands of potential donors and volunteers. The campaign disperses millions of dollars and allows donors to support United Way, our member charities, or their regional Community Impact Fund. They can also give to funds set up to address the specific impact areas of Education, Income or Health.
