Double your impact
Thanks to the Canso Leadership Team Challenge Grant*, your gift can have even more impact!
All new Leadership gifts of $1,200+ this year will be matched. If you donated $1,200 or more last year, then any increase to your gift to United Way this year will be matched dollar for dollar. That means you’ll have an even bigger impact on our community and help even more individuals and families across the GTA build a better life.
* Canso Leadership Team Challenge Grant only applies to gifts of $1,200 to $9,999 to United Way Greater Toronto; not to gifts designated to other registered charities. The Gift will match up to $1 million in total donations. Gifts must be received by December 31, 2023.
Your gift will be matched
Make your first gift of $10,000+ to United Way Greater Toronto, or increase your annual major gift, and it will be matched by the Donald K. Johnson Major Gift Challenge Grant*.
