With United Way it's not about supporting one cause. We focus on the areas that need change the most, with contributions from our supporters becoming part of a major community building effort.
We bring together organizations, businesses, governments, community members and more than 50 agency partners in the social services sector who care about the issues we face in the Alberta Capital Region.
Together, we represent one of the most critical and extensive collaborative approaches for change. No other local community organizations does this - it's what makes United Way unique, and its how your support helps create the greatest impact possible for our community.
Through continuous research, a deep understanding of our local community challenges and experience working with key partners, we believe the best opportunity to change lives and social conditions rest in three focus areas:
EDUCATION - ALL THAT KIDS CAN BE
From the early years to high school completion, we're supporting the full path of development to help children and youth achieve their potential.
INCOME - FROM POVERTY TO POSSIBILITY
We're helping community members who have low income, and those experiencing homelssness, to gain financial stability and independence.
WELLNESS - HEALTHY PEOPLE, STRONG COMMUNITIES
In working for the overall well-being of community members, we're building the positive environments and social capacity for caring, safe neighbourhoods.
