United Way Greater Toronto's community services focuses on delivering UWGT-led initiatives and funds to external service agencies to deliver high-impact, evidence-based programs. These programs support people in or at risk of poverty, help individuals transition out of poverty and address the systemic issues perpetuating poverty. Stable, long-term funding and collaboration with agencies is an important and unique feature of UWGT's commitment to high-impact programs. Multi-year funding investments (three years and five years) give organizations the stability to plan ahead, adapt to emerging issues and support system-wide planning to make a real difference in people's lives. Additionally, United Way Greater Toronto invests in emerging initiatives that respond to innovative solutions to new developments in the communities we serve.
