LEAD THE WAY TO A FUTURE WHERE POVERTY HAS NO HOME
Leadership giving is one of the most impactful ways you can help build a brighter, stronger GTA region that is full of opportunity, connection and hope — for everyone who lives here.
As a Leadership donor, your gift of $1,200 or more empowers real and lasting change. It helps fund 700+ community programs and services, serving 1.8 million people each and every year — ensuring people stay connected to the things they need to not only survive, but thrive. Every dollar you give helps open doors to opportunity, support, and stability for people working hard to build a better future.
- $1,200 can provide counselling to a woman who has survived domestic abuse, and to her children, for the length of their stay at a shelter
- $3,000 can provide breakfast for 5 days to 65 individuals who are unhoused or low income
- $5,000 can feed 50 seniors culturally appropriate hot meals once a week for 12 weeks
- $7,500 can fund four 10-week parenting programs for up to 45 participants
Your Leadership support goes beyond meeting basic, urgent needs — it fuels the research, partnerships, resident engagement and innovative solutions that pave the way for a more equitable GTA for all.
WHEN YOU LEAD, OTHERS FOLLOW
Join us as a Leadership donor and you’re doing more than just giving — you’re leading the way to a brighter future, setting an example and showing what’s possible when, collectively, we care for community. Together with you, we’ll use all the tools in our toolbox and do whatever we can to ensure no one gets left behind. With your leadership, determination and belief in a GTA for all, we’ll rise to the big challenges facing our region, like unaffordable housing, rising living costs and economic uncertainty.
And as a Leadership donor, you will receive special updates and opportunities to learn more about the impact of your support and to engage directly with the community to see firsthand what you’ve made possible. Your United Way staff partner will be there to assist you along the way, and you’ll be recognized in our annual Leadership Honour Roll.
There are many ways to give, including through gifts of securities and gifts in will. Reach out to your United Way staff partner today or contact us at Leadership@uwgt.org.
With you in our corner, we’ll make sure that the challenges of today don’t define our future. Any way we can.
