OUR PEOPLE
Kevin T. Middleton serves as President for United Way of Kentucky, which promotes and supports the work of Kentucky's twenty-one United Way organizations in their efforts to expand opportunity for all. Kevin has over 22 years of non-profit expertise, with over 17 years guiding conversations that lead people and organizations to reach measurable outcomes. He is a skillful communicator, facilitator, trainer and fundraiser, and has helped executives, boards and staff shape their work to improve lives and change communities.
Kevin serves as administrator for the Kentucky Employees Charitable Campaign and Kentucky’s regional campaign for Enterprise Holdings, Inc., State Director for the Kentucky 211 information and referral service, and has administered over $1 million in grant funding to implement the United Way Born Learning Academy parent-as-teacher workshop series throughout Kentucky’s elementary school districts. He was appointed as a Commissioner to Serve Kentucky (formerly known as the Kentucky Commission on Community Volunteerism and Service) by former Governor Matt Bevin in June 2019, and serves on the public policy committee for the Kentucky Nonprofit Network, the Strong Start Kentucky coalition and Kentucky Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (KYVOAD). He served on the coalition to expand Kentucky’s Children’s Health Insurance Program to families without coverage, co-created the now annual United Way “Live United Day” at the Capitol, and managed the administration of two annual AmeriCorps grants in St. Louis, Missouri.

As a focused team of leaders, United Way of Kentucky will align resources and work to advance Education, Income and Health. We envision Kentuckians united to give, advocate and volunteer to advance the common good for all.
OUR MISSION
United Way fights for the health, education and financial stability of every person in every community.
OUR FOCUS
UNITED WAY OF KENTUCKY'S COMMITMENT TO
DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION
United Way of Kentucky fights for the Financial Stability, Health and Education of every Kentuckian in every community. Kentucky’s United Way network works to engage community members, including those whose voices have traditionally been marginalized, to co-create solutions that ensure every Kentuckian has the resources, support, opportunities, and networks they need to thrive.
Yet, for too many individuals and families, access to a better life remains elusive. To achieve our vision, we must understand and address the underlying factors that impede progress. United Way of Kentucky (UWKY) recognizes that structural racism and other forms of discrimination contribute to persistent disparities. By challenging practices based on racism, sexism, and other historical and current forms of discrimination, the United Way network can create more inclusive communities and equitable outcomes.
Therefore:
WHAT'S YOUR MISSION?
Change starts with you. Take action today to make a difference in your community.
