United Way Toronto is a registered charity dedicated to improving lives and strengthening neighbourhoods across Toronto. United Way makes a difference every single day by identifying needs and taking action to create a better, safer, stronger city through research, partnerships and support of a network of 200 health and social service agencies. United Way, an international, volunteer-led not-for-profit organization, has 123 local United Ways in Canada. United Way is known as Centraide in Quebec and Ottawa and other French speaking communities across Canada. Each United Way-Centraide raises money and allocates funds locally to support its community. Each United Way-Centraide is governed by an autonomous local Board of Directors that, with other volunteers and staff, helps build caring communities and responds to a broad range of human needs.
