Metro United Way Explained
Metro United Way is a non-profit organization[1] based in Louisville, Kentucky[2] and is part of the United Way Worldwide system of 1,800 community-based offices located across 45 countries and territories. Founded in 1917, Metro United Way provides community service (Louisville metro and Southern Indiana) by engaging people to give, advocate and volunteer.[3] This is accomplished through partnerships with schools,[4] government organizations, corporations, organized labor, banks,[5] community organizations, and neighborhood associations.
In July 2014, the non-profit cut funding to 15 programs, prompting critical coverage in local media.[6] [7] In the summer 2015, a new effort started building a social and volunteering network for people under the age of 30.[8]
On July 12, 2021, Adria Johnson was selected as the organization's President and CEO.[9]
