It's been a busy, busy year for the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago's LGBTQA affinity group, United Pride. Says Seth Vermilyea, I am the gay employee at UWMC who said, 'What if we…,' and WE DID."
United Ways of California is proud that its advocacy was part of what made the CA EITC a reality. Now 600,000 families and 2 million individuals have a chance at tax refunds that will help pay their bills. UWCA is gearing up to spread the word.

United Way France’s focus on education and opportunities for youth is even more important now. We are expanding those programs and building the capacity of local NGOs to promote social cohesion. http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vI1hK
On VeteransDay, we add our gratitude for the brave men and women who have served—and we do so year-round. That’s why we support the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit (EITC & CTC), which help 2 million military families keep more of what they earn each year. Supporting our heroes after they come home is our way of saying “thank you”—and so is supporting the EITC & CTC. http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vI11b
