Our Areas of Focus
The outcomes we want everyone to be able to experience.
The Community Impact Fund
Supporting our ability to make tomorrow better than today.
The Community Impact Fund is the primary fund through which United Way of Calgary and Area provides stable funding to over 120 agencies, ensuring Calgarians can access services and supports when and where they need them. It supports United Way in responding to urgent and emerging community issues, seeding innovative ways to tackle society’s biggest problems, and transforming the systems perpetuating societal disparities.
Giving to the Community Impact Fund is the best way to make an impact, as funds are targeted to where they are needed most in our community. Over 167,000 Calgarians saw a positive impact from the Fund in 2022; however, needs in the community continue to grow. The demand for resources and services in Calgary is outpacing the available support systems. The Community Impact Fund seeks to bridge this gap by mobilizing quickly to areas of immediate need while also implementing preventative measures and programs. With the flexibility to adapt to short and long-term goals, we can effectively address emerging challenges and make meaningful change for Calgarians.
We need Calgarians like you to donate to the Community Impact Fund today so that, together, we can create a better tomorrow.
