We improve lives locally
United Way’s work focuses on three key strategies that create opportunities for everyone in our communities to live a better life.
United Way is helping to meet the basic needs of our community’s most vulnerable people, giving every Canadian the opportunity to realize a better future.
United Way is giving children and youth the support they need to get a great start in life, do well in school, and reach their full potential.
United Way is creating vibrant neighbourhoods, where everyone experiences a sense of belonging and connection to one another.
211’s telephone line and online directory help Canadians deal with life’s challenges. The service connects users with vital community and social resources, close to home and specific to their needs.
Across Canada, United Way is putting your donations to work where they get the greatest results. Together, we are creating lasting change in local communities from coast to coast to coast.
Thanks to your generous support, we’re investing every year in local communities across Canada.

At United Way, we like to think – and work – differently. What exactly sets us apart?
Through research, consultation and experience, we know where the need is greatest in each community - and we invest our efforts and your donations where they will have the greatest results.
We make sure the right people, organizations and skills are at the table to solve the tough problems. We work together with nonprofits, government, community agencies, corporate partners, labour and donors to improve lives across Canada.
While a band-aid fix may help in the short-term, we also aim to create lasting change. By learning more about the factors that influence issues like poverty, we can tackle them early and develop long-term solution
