United Way of the Alberta Capital Region
United Way of the Alberta Capital Region looks at the big picture in order to deliver a coordinated network of services and programs to address a range of needs for children and families who are living in poverty. 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. United Way of the Alberta Capital Region’s office is 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 in 2020 and 2021, and a Best Workplace to Give Back in 2021. 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.
