United Way

Change Starts Here

United Way gives individuals and families the opportunity to reach their potential and improve their quality of life. Whether we fund programs that teach conflict-resolution skills to a high-risk family, enable a senior to live independently, or help a high school student stay in school, United Way's impact is local, tangible and meaningful.

We rely on a diverse group to achieve positive outcomes in our community.

A volunteer Board of Directors determines United Way's direction, advises employees and takes responsibility for financial decisions and performance. The Board members are accountable for achieving United Way of Calgary and Area's objectives.
Our Campaign Cabinet helps develop our campaign plans and strategies, plus they play a pivotal role in mobilizing the thousands of Calgarians who contribute to our success each year.
Through the power of working together with thousands of volunteers from workplace campaigns, agencies, donors and our Campaign Cabinet and Board of Directors, we are able to achieve greater awareness and positive change in addressing and overcoming social issues.
Through your donations, we work with several agencies in our community. Plus, we invest in priority issues and initiatives in the community to develop long-term solutions in:

Supporting people living in vulnerable situations
Improving lives for economically challenged families and reducing poverty
Ensuring the success of children and youth
Sustained poverty reduction
Aboriginal Youth and Education Strategy
