Welcome to Heart of Missouri United Way

Here, we bring people together—businesses, neighbors, nonprofits, and civic partners—around a shared belief: when we unite, we can create lasting change. United Way mobilizes communities to action so all can thrive. That promise guides everything we do.

By harnessing the collective strength and compassion of Boone, Cooper, and Howard Counties, we address the toughest challenges facing our region and open doors to health, stability, and opportunity for every person. Whether you’re seeking help, seeking ways to give back, or seeking a partner in making meaningful impact, we’re glad you’re here—and we invite you to grow with us as we build a stronger, more connected community for all.

ASPIRES Project

Heart of Missouri United Way is excited to present the ASPIRES project, designed to help enhance nonprofit organizations’ capacity. One part of this project is quarterly capacity-building classes which are open to ANY nonprofit organization.
