United Way
The United Way of Burlington & Greater Hamilton 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 communities 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.
