Leaders like you are vital to our community’s recovery
A successful recovery from this pandemic involves all of us. That’s why we’re asking you to make a Leadership donation of $1,200 or more to United Way this year. You will play a vital role in creating a recovery that harnesses the incredible power, resiliency and skills of the people that make the GTA such a vibrant, diverse and welcoming place to live.
How you can help
We’re inviting you to join us today by supporting our $105-million 2021 Community Recovery Campaign. Your generous Leadership gift made directly to United Way can help meet the needs of today and begin to break down systemic barriers for a more equitable tomorrow.
What you make possible
More than a year into this pandemic, and we have already come through so much together. Across Peel, Toronto and York Region, United Way was able to provide a coordinated community response to COVID-19.
- 2.2 million people supported
- 1,400 programs and initiatives in Peel, Toronto and York Region that provide a vital lifeline to community
- 575 agencies working together
- 90% of our funded programs serve racialized groups, including Black and Indigenous peoples
Looking back, the issues that United Way champions were issues that impacted me, including supports for newcomers and youth empowerment. At our core, we all want to matter—to look back and know that we made a difference.
