Gifts, social media posts that tag United Way East Ontario (@UnitedWayEO), and mailing list subscriptions made in response to United Way East Ontario’s Women United International Women’s Day 2025 campaign can qualify for a match opportunity, subject to the conditions laid out below.

This match is made possible through a gift commitment received by United Way East Ontario from BMO. During this Women United campaign, the total in matching funds available is $2,500. United Way East Ontario assumes sole responsibility for implementing the match. United Way East Ontario reserves the right to exclude any donations from this matching gift process at any time, for any reason. BMO, or any other partners that may join this matching gift offer, assume no obligation to match any gift from any United Way East Ontario supporter. 

Donations made through the mail, the website, or telephone calls, during the time period of 12:00am EST on March 1, 2025 to 11:59pm EST on March 31, 2025, are eligible to be matched. Designated donations to other Canadian charities are not eligible to be matched. Donors will only receive a tax receipt for the amount they contribute.

Social media posts made on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, or (X) Twitter, that include “accelerate action” as part of this International Women’s Day campaign and tag United Way East Ontario, during the time period of 12:00AM EST on March 3, 2025 to 11:59PM EST on March 13, 2024, are eligible to be matched, $10 per individual post that include the tag. We are referring to the social media posts as a donation for these terms and conditions.

Subscriptions made to the Women United mailing list during the time period of 12:00AM EST on March 1, 2025 to 11:59PM EST on March 31, 2025, are eligible to be matched, $10 per new subscriber. We are referring to the subscribers as a donation for these terms and conditions.

United Way East Ontario will match donations received from individuals with the appropriate amounts from funds provided by the match partner on April 30, 2025. To be eligible, donations must be received through the channels listed above by 11:59pm EST on March 31, 2025.

Donation matches are implemented by United Way East Ontario staff, based on funds donated. United Way East Ontario will take funds provided by BMO and match them with the corresponding funds individual donors provide. The combined amount will support the work undertaken by United Way East Ontario through our community fund or affinity program initiatives. 

If the total dollars contributed to this matching gift campaign during 2025 falls short of the campaign target, United Way East Ontario will match as many of the available gifts as possible, and reserve the remainder of the funding for matching gift campaigns in subsequent years, or apply them to other charitable programs or goals. During such campaigns, United Way East Ontario will post new terms under which the match will be implemented. If the total dollars raised from matching gift campaigns during 2025 exceeds the total available, United Way East Ontario will choose gifts to be matched through a random process on April 30, 2025, until the total available match amount is exhausted. This process will be implemented at United Way East Ontario headquarters at the following address: United Way East Ontario 363 Coventry Road, Ottawa ON.
