Organizational History

Organizational HistoryOrganizational HistoryThe United Way concept emerged in 1891 in Denver, Colorado

Denver residents realized the need to improved living conditions for gold prospectors, fortune hunters and their families.

Three community leaders formed a committee to solicit funds to help those in need and the idea was born.

San Juan United Way incorporated in 1960 as Farmington United Fund

During the past 49 years, SJUW has grown from supporting only a few agencies to providing funding for 41 programs within 18 agencies.
