United Way’s Major Donors are dedicated to major social changes. They are passionate about giving back to the community and creating long-term sustainability. With their support − and often their time and talent − we’re able to make a real difference in people’s lives and get right to the heart of the issues. Add your vision to United Way.

Our Major Donors are shaping Calgary − now and for generations to come.

Major Donors can contribute to United Way by making a lump sum payment, through equal monthly bank withdrawals, credit card payments, post-dated cheques or through payroll deductions (if the company runs a United Way campaign). Another popular and very tax-effective way of giving is through gifts of securities. Our Major Gift Officers can explain the significant tax benefits of all gifts.

Spouses and families may also combine gifts to reach a Major Donors level (provided they live at the same address).
