United Way Alberta Capital Region

We are committed to tackling poverty together — that’s the United Way.

United Way of the Alberta Capital Region takes a systems-wide approach to collaborate and deliver local programs and services that address the root causes of poverty. Working together, we minimize duplication and deliver larger scale impacts and lasting change.

When you support United Way, you are an important part of a movement of changemakers who share your social purpose and want the same things for our community. Together, your actions and resources multiply your impact right here at home.

We envision a poverty-free community, where…

All children and youth achieve their full potential, complete high school, and set a course toward a bright future.
All individuals and families attain greater independence and financial stability, contributing to their personal success and the success of our economy.
Everyone feels a meaningful connection to the community, enjoying a strong sense of well-being and safety, for themselves and their families.

In pursuing our vision, through our values we will:

• Provide non-partisan leadership in social change
• Endorse innovation, partnerships, and collective action
• Deliver meaningful, lasting results
• Respect community wisdom and encourage citizen involvement
• Encourage and promote volunteerism and volunteer leadership
• Demonstrate trust, integrity, transparency, inclusivity, and respect
• Embrace diversity
  
  
  In Canada, United Way is a network of more than 75 local United Way offices.

Each United Way works locally to raise funds and invest in improving lives in its own community.
