Resources for current agencies
Of the more than 200 agencies in United Way's network of agencies and programs, 149 are member agencies. As a United Way member agency, you receive core funding—sustainable, long-term financial support that lets you plan ahead and provide ongoing services people can count on now. A number of other opportunities also come with your United Way membership.
Organizational Capacity Building Training Courses
United Way Toronto is pleased to offer free or low-cost training courses providing learning opportunities for staff and board members to enhance their skills. Our strategic direction of offering supports through the Organizational Capacity Building (OCB) Unit focuses on individual knowledge development as a means to achieve organizational development.
The main focus of the United Way's OCB training strategy has been to assist funded agencies to develop knowledge to increase their capacity to serve clients and the growing needs of communities.

Toronto Enterprise Fund
The Toronto Enterprise Fund is a unique partnership between government, foundations, and United Way Toronto that supports the development of social purpose enterprises working with the homeless and low-income people. The enterprises provide people with employment opportunities, work experience, additional income, improved life skills and better connections to the community and the labour force. As a result, the enterprises are successful in helping to reduce poverty, preventing and reducing homelessness, and building a more inclusive community.
The Program partnership includes Human Resources Development Canada, Ontario Disability Support Program, City of Toronto, United Way Toronto, CEDTAP and Supporting Communities Partnership Initiative (SCPI).

Speakers Bureau
Hearing a personal story gives donors a deeper understanding of where their dollars go, and more inspiration to give generously. In order to join our Speakers Bureau as an Agency Speaker, you must be a staff member, board member, volunteer, or client of a United Way member agency. Ask your agency’s Executive Director about becoming a United Way Agency Speaker.
