History

United Way of Mumbai was established in 2002 on the initiative of Mr. David Good, Ex-US Consul General India, and with the support of American International Group, Citibank India, Ernst & Young India, Hunt Partners, Jasubhai Group, J M Morgan Stanley Securities, Mahindra & Mahindra, Morgan Stanley New York, Principal Asset Management and Sony Television.

The heads of these companies had been contributing to local United Ways, in the United States, through parent companies for over a decade and wanted to provide their own employees with an equally trustworthy but local medium to contribute to social causes. Thus, United Way of Mumbai came into being as an independent affiliate of United Way Worldwide.

United Way also has independent chapters across India in Baroda, Bangalore, Delhi and Hubli-Dharwad.
