Making Calgary and Area a better place for everyone
When people are at their best—physically, mentally and emotionally—something powerful happens.
They no longer live in survival mode, figuring out how to get through the day, week or month. They can seek new opportunities and are better equipped to make positive choices and support others. This transforms neighbourhoods into vibrant, rewarding places filled with health, happiness and success.
Sadly, the challenges facing Calgarian’s are complex, and leave many living in survival mode. This is why we created the Community Impact Fund. Following careful research and consideration, we distribute portions of this fund to local charities that need it most. Supporting this fund is a great way to help your community and create a city where no one is left behind.

Everyone needs a hand at one point or another, and everyone deserves a fair shot at a good life. That’s why United Way exists—to improve lives locally. But in a city of nearly 1.4 million people, it is impossible for one individual or organization to respond to all the social needs—strong partnerships are key to creating change in our community. United Way of Calgary and Area operates within a strong network of social services to build a connected system of community supports so everyone has access to programs and services when they need them, guaranteeing daily assistance for our community’s most vulnerable people.
When we work together,
just about anything is possible.
