The United Way of Central Missouri Foundation operates to further the mission of the United Way of Central Missouri by maximizing fundraising potential. The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors and is a separate 501(c)(3) with the same high standards of fiscal accountability and good stewardship as the United Way of Central Missouri. The Foundation was established in 2003 to build a permanent, sustainable avenue of support for the United Way through planned giving. Gifts to the United Way of Central Missouri Foundation are a legacy to be proud of and a blessing to our community today and beyond.
