United Way Niagara

Two agencies; one goal. We, United Way of Niagara Falls and Greater Fort Erie and United Way South Niagara, promise to create opportunities for a better life for everyone in our community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action. Strategically partnering on nearly every aspect of our operations, we are proud of and excited about the future of our work together. Reducing the time spent on producing similar documents, policy development, community advocacy and general administration are part of the combined work. With only four full-time staff members to serve over 200,000 people living in Niagara Falls, Fort Erie, Pelham, Port Colborne, Wainfleet and Welland, collaboration is imperative to stretch resources and operate efficiently. Sharing social media platforms and content is another example of our partnership. Each local United Way is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors from the community who meet regularly to discuss policy, new and emerging agency needs, and strategic planning for the organization. Members assume the legal and moral responsibility for all activities of the United Way, including policy administration, evaluation, public and community relations, personnel, finance and strategic planning. Directors approve the annual budget of the United Way and all grants. We invite you to get to know us, what we do, and how you can help create positive community change.
