Become a member of United Way
Voting Members of United Way are essential to our fight against poverty in communities across Peel, Toronto and York Region. Members are invited to attend our Annual General Meeting to vote on the appointment of Trustees, auditors, and other special business, receive the annual audited financial statements, and hear reports on our work in the community.
Show your local love for community by becoming a Member and help us build and strengthen a crucial community safety net to support people living in poverty.
What is Membership?
Both individuals and organizations* are eligible to become Members, with similar rights for both. You can become a member if you meet the Membership qualifications (one of the following: UWGT donor; UWGT volunteer; or you live or work in Peel, Toronto or York Region). Membership is for one year, based on our fiscal year of April 1 to March 31.
The application deadline was March 2, 2023 and the application period is now closed for the April 2023 to March 2024 membership term.
Applications received prior to the closing will be submitted to the Board for approval at the end of March and we will notify members once approved.
Please check back in the fall for information on next year’s application.
Our UWGT Membership Rights and Responsibilities contains more information about Membership. If you need additional information, please email corporatesecretary@uwgt.org.
* Organizations will need to identify a primary Membership contact. If your organization intends on becoming a Member, you may need to determine if there is an internal process to duly authorize Membership or the authority of the Membership contact to act on behalf of the organization.
