Why donate to United Way East Ontario
We are committed to 100% local impact—in the neighbourhoods where we live, in the communities where we work, and in the region we love.
Every day we do our best to be innovative, nimble and responsive to the needs in our communities and interests of our donors.
We engage experts to identify the most pressing issues facing our neighbours, friends, colleagues and family members. And, we know you want to help conquer them.
These are tough challenges that require in-depth knowledge, long-term commitment, and a smart investment of resources.
They require the power of United Way.
Your donation is in good hands.
We invest your gift in smart, strategic ways, to ultimately move the needle.
