The United Way movement began in 1887 in Denver, Colo., when religious leaders founded the Charity Organizations Society which planned and coordinated local services and conducted a single fundraising campaign for 22 agencies. In 1913, the nation’s first modern Community Chest was born in Cleveland where a program for allocating campaign funds was developed.
