Your Donation Stays 100% Local

Your generosity powers a network of nearly 80 local charities and community organizations. Through fundraising, advocacy, and collaboration, we work together to deliver life-changing support to the most vulnerable individuals and families across our region.

As an umbrella organization, United Way leverages community data to strategically allocate donations among local issues and partners—ensuring funds are directed to where they’re needed most.

As the largest private funder of social services in Waterloo Region, United Way raises millions of dollars annually to sustain vital programs that support people facing complex challenges related to poverty and inequity. The continued support of local workplaces and individuals is essential to keeping these services open and accessible for all.
