Mission
United we fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in Mesa.
Program accomplishments
- Founded in 1966, Mesa United Way operates as a nonprofit philanthropic corporation under the State of Arizona laws. Historically a staunch supporter of addressing the poverty challenges faced by vulnerable populations, Mesa United Way continues to enhance community partnerships which align with this goal. In particular, Mesa United Way focuses on funding solutions related to the day-to-day needs of foster/kinship children, housing and self-sufficiency for youth aging out of foster care, free tax assistance and financial literacy for low- and moderate-income households, affordable housing for the chronically disabled and working poor, and the critically important work of improving childhood literacy. To do all this, Mesa United Way depends on individual and corporate contributions. Launched by Mesa United Way in 2009, the Helens Hope Chest program focused on the needs of foster and kinship children from infancy through early childhood. In 2014, Helens Hope Chest became a legal entity of its own but operated as a subsidiary under Mesa United Way. Never sitting on its laurels, Mesa United Way continued creating more programs that filled more gapsVITA, Foster360, 12Books and the Mesa Veterans Resource Center. In 2023, once it became evident that the community members served by these necessary programs had grown well beyond the geographic boundaries of the City of Mesa, Mesa United Way created a new nonprofit corporation, Azura Inc., and placed these direct-service programming beneath that umbrella. This included Helens Hope Chest and Foster360, now a legal entity as well. The purpose of these organizational changes furthered Mesa United Ways goal of launching sustainable programming that directly improves the lives of our community members while also allowing the new Azura family of solutions to flourish and grow without the limitations of the United Way structure that governs Mesa United Way. Whether through its traditional United Way workplace campaigns or finding the next gap in services that needs a solution, Mesa United Way remains committed to both supporting the work of its progeny while also remaining even more closely focused on its core mission of fighting for the health, education and financial stability of every person in Mesa.Expenses $582,771 · grants $477,366
