United Way is a national movement consisting of a national office in Ottawa and over 100 local United Ways serving communities across Canada. Our mission is to improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action.So many people think of United Way as a fundraising organization. But we are so much more than that. We are a beacon for social change. We don't just scratch the surface of social issues by using band-aid solutions. We inspire people to come together to make a lasting difference in our communities. We dig deeper to identify the underlying root causes of social issues and we work together with community partners to generate long-term, sustainable solutions that positively impact the health and well-being, education and financial stability of all members of our communities. We specialize in bringing together all sectors of a community including individuals, businesses, organizations and government in pursuit of a common goal – to create opportunities for people to live better lives. We monitor and measure the impact of both short and long-term solutions to ensure they are affecting social change that leads to stronger families and more vibrant neighborhoods.
