About

A strong and vibrant community is better equipped to respond to new and urgent needs and challenges. United Way of the Alberta Capital Region is focused on two critical areas that build community resilience: strengthening mental health and creating equitable opportunities for education and financial security. We take a systems-wide approach to collaborate and deliver local programs and services that address multiple facets of community well-being. We have a long history in the Edmonton region, going back 80 years to our origins as the Community Chest of Greater Edmonton in 1941. We are home to about 70 passionate employees, with a higher number of colleagues joining the team during our campaign season. We also have a few team members who spend the majority of their workdays just a few minutes away at our InKind Exchange building. We are proud to be named a Best Workplace in Alberta by Great Place to Work Institute® Canada since 2020 and Top 100 Charities in Canada since 2022. In Canada, United Way is a network of more than 75 local United Way offices. Each office is registered as its own non-profit organization and governed by an independent volunteer-led local Board of Directors. Each United Way works locally to raise funds and invest in improving lives in its community.
