Maui United Way

Creating Sustainable Change That Lifts All of Maui County

Building a Stronger Maui County. When you give to Maui United Way through your workplace campaign, you directly support stronger, more resilient communities across Maui, Molokai and Lānaʻi. 

Responding to Crisis, Strengthening for the Future. The devastating 2023 wildfires and 2026 floods reminded us how quickly lives can be changed by disaster. While these events created urgent needs, they also exposed longstanding challenges many local families already faced. As our communities continue to recover, we remain focused on both immediate support and long-term solutions that help people thrive. 

Addressing Maui County's Greatest Challenges. Maui County faces complex challenges, including housing affordability, food insecurity, mental health needs, disaster recovery and access to opportunities for youth. These issues affect thousands of residents across Maui, Molokai and Lānaʻi and require community-driven solutions that address today's needs while building capacity for the future. 

Through strategic investments in nonprofit partners and direct service initiatives, Maui United Way strengthens financial security, improves health and well-being, expands opportunities for youth and builds community resilience. 

Beyond Resilience. Our vision goes beyond resilience. We are working to create communities that can anticipate change, adapt to new realities and emerge stronger through collaboration, innovation and local leadership. By addressing the root causes of hardship and investing in long-term solutions, we are helping build a stronger future for Maui County.
