Organizational History
The 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.
