Ways to Support

More Than $100 Million Raised by Bayer | 1922– 2023

For more than 100 years, Bayer employees have donated more than $100,000,000 to the United Way of Greater St. Louis and its 160+ agencies – an incredible accomplishment reflecting the dedication and generosity on which this campaign relies. As we move into the next century of our partnership, we are more dedicated than ever to moving humanity forward by seeking ways to make our, “Health for all, Hunger for None,” a reality in St. Louis and beyond.

In 2022, together with the company matching program, we gave over $2.8 million to the greater St. Louis region. From providing emergency food response to families in need to supporting first responders and essential workers with childcare and other services, we are helping people live their best possible lives.

Larger economic prices have impacted the cost of living and financial freedom for families, which is why our increased goal of $3 million reflects United Way’s commitment to keeping up with rising costs for our community members. When Bayer employees participate in events at Chesterfield and Creve Coeur and volunteer at and attend team bonding activities, it increases the excitement around supporting United Way – which also encourages others to participate and donate. 

Unite with us for the second century of impact to positively affect our community!

United Way Supports Individuals for a Stronger Community

It doesn’t matter if you are dealing with a health-related crisis or struggling to make ends meet, when someone in our community needs assistance, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. United Way of Greater St. Louis helps fund more than 160 nonprofits in the bi-state region, enabling those in need to access wrap-around support. “We help with basic needs, job training, education, health and wellbeing, youth success and crisis response,” explains United Way of Greater St. Louis President and CEO Michelle D. Tucker. “United Way serves as the community’s safety net – catching people and bouncing them back. We help place neighbors back on the road to success.” Since its inception, United Way has raised nearly $3 billion dollars for our community and helps more than one million people each year.
