The United Way of Burlington and Greater Hamilton

Welcome to the United Way of Burlington & Greater Hamilton website. United Way seeks to enhance community life and build stronger, healthier and more vibrant communities by connecting community needs to community resources. Through an effective annual fundraising campaign, the United Way of Burlington & Greater Hamilton maximizes available financial resources to improve our communityï¿½s quality of life. Through the use of volunteers and volunteer fund review panels and responsible stewardship, United Way is able to raise and allocate funds to meet current and changing human care needs within Burlington and Greater Hamilton following three specific funding streams: Poverty Prevention; Strengthening Neighbourhoods and Supporting Seniors. Currently, funds raised through the United Way campaign directly support 137 programs and services delivered by 75 funded agencies in Burlington and Greater Hamilton. All of this would not be possible without the support of over 6,000 volunteers who are actively engaged in the work of the United Way. On behalf of over 218,000 residents in Burlington and Greater Hamilton who are the direct beneficiaries of our communities generosity may I say thank you to all our donors and volunteers. A community is not truly great until it is great for everyone… thank you for helping us to build a stronger, more vibrant and caring community.

United Every One, Every Day, Every Way
