Our Mission

To mobilize communities for lasting social change. 

Our Vision

A resilient and caring community where everyone thrives.

We see the need. It's closer than you think.

Sometimes the need is obvious. More often, it isn't.

It's the young person quietly struggling with their mental health. The parent skipping meals so their children don't have to. The senior who hasn't spoken to another person in days. The neighbour trying to rebuild after an unexpected setback.

These stories are unfolding every day in Calgary and the surrounding area.

At United Way of Calgary and Area, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. By bringing together donors, volunteers, businesses, local agencies and government, we're creating lasting change that helps people when they need it most.

Together, we invest in more than 150 local agencies, supporting over 270,000 people every year. We're meeting urgent needs today while working to prevent tomorrow's challenges. We are focusing on reducing poverty, improving mental health and helping people build meaningful connections in their communities.

Your support makes this possible. It helps ensure that when someone reaches out for help, it's there. It gives children, families and seniors the opportunity not just to get by, but to move forward with hope.

Make your generosity go even further through our matching programs. Whether you give through a workplace campaign or have your gift matched by a local donor, your support can help change even more lives. Double your impact today: https://calgaryunitedway.org/match/
