Community Investments 2024-25
United Way East Ontario invests our available resources in smart, strategic ways to move the needle for the most vulnerable people in our communities. Our expert volunteers evaluate and make recommendations to fund programs, collaborations and initiatives that create measurable, lasting change.
Below are our investments for July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025, divided into the three focus areas of our activities that fulfill our mission, vision and promise. These investments are determined by our annual Call for Proposals process, unless otherwise indicated.
Every kid should have the basic building blocks to stay on track to succeed—in school, and in life.
