Where the money goes
When you donate to United Way, your money goes into what we call the Community Fund — a pool of donations that draws on the combined strength of donors like you to strengthen lives and build stronger neighbourhoods across Toronto.
Thanks to the Community Fund, United Way supports a vital network of over 200 health and social service agencies, helping youth at risk, newcomers, homeless people, women who have been abused and countless others.
United Way builds partnerships in the community to tackle social issues such as poverty, lack of affordable housing and domestic violence. Together, we're building a better, healthier city for all of us.
Our research into these issues tells us where the money is needed most. Experienced staff and volunteers review funding submissions, conduct interviews, and visit agencies to assess their performance, ensuring an accountable and efficient use of your donation.
