At United Way/Centraide Ottawa, we promise to invest resources where they are needed the most and where they’ll have the greatest impact. To accomplish this, we have established six impact areas, as well as other priorities that reach seniors, immigrants, visible minorities, francophones, First Nations, Métis, Inuit or rural residents in Ottawa. We then ensure that our investments in the community are aligned with our impact areas and priorities and meet specific criteria.

Last year we supported more than 185 frontline programs and services, view our Community Investment Directory online.
