I'M AN ORIGINAL CATCHPHRASE
We Help Change Lives.
The Alberta Northwest Region is our home. Our community. Together, we help to improve the lives of the most vulnerable in our communities.
We Understand Local Needs
United Way Alberta Northwest helps to give everyone in our communities a chance by investing in three focus areas and working together with funded partners, government agencies and community organizations.
All That Kids Can Be
Due to circumstances beyond their control, many kids need help to develop the skills to succeed in school and life. We support programs that ensure children are ready to learn. We invest in programs and initiatives like homework clubs, summer camps, and after-school programs that allow at-risk kids to grow and succeed.
From Poverty to Possibility
Without the basic necessities, life becomes a struggle to survive. We invest in programs and initiatives that get homeless youth off the streets for good, help the under-employed or unemployed find jobs that match their skills, and give those who are struggling employment opportunities and a sense of belonging to their community.
Healthy People Strong Communities
Seniors, people living in poverty, and those facing mental health issues may not always get the help they need to live happy, healthy lives. We invest in programs and initiatives that lead to healthier people and stronger communities.
#LocalLove - Doing Local Good
through our Community Programs which provide support in the Alberta Northwest region, every day.
In 2021, United Way Alberta Northwest allocated $343,335 to charities and programs across the

Whether you need help with food, shelter, or mental health, United Way and its partners have worked together to create 211, a single point of contact for those who don't know where to turn for help.
Our Tools for School Program helps reduce barriers for youth and enables them to successfully participate in learning in school.
