Supporting Our Agencies

List of Our Member Agencies | United Way Member Agency logo

Your donation supports a network of close to 100 programs delivered by our 41 member agencies. They provide vital social services to hundreds of thousands of people throughout the region—single parents, abused women, young children and teenagers, the elderly, the physically challenged, the homeless, and the many new immigrants who need help to realize their dreams of a better life in Canada.

United Way is the only major funding organization that delivers significant core operating support to social service agencies. This base support of funding provides stability and allows agencies the flexibility to develop and respond to emerging needs of the communities they serve. In addition to core funding, United Way of York Region supports several grant initiatives such as the Expansionary Program Fund, the New Program Fund, the Enhancement Fund and the Strength Investments Fund.
