United Way Winnipeg

What can I say about this important Winnipeg Institution? I am a volunteer at United Way Winnipeg. The location at Higgins and Main might turn some people off, but it is safe at all times. They built there because of proximity to so many non-profit social-service agencies in the area. The United Way uses a Stewardship Model which is not used by all United Way agencies across Canada. As an Agency Liaison Volunteer, I join other volunteers and a Community Investment Manager (staff) to visit funded agencies for contract renewal or annual update meetings. We ask the questions, listen to the answers, and make recommendations to the Community Investment Council which approves funding contracts. There are also volunteers who help with the Annual Campaign and others who help at Special Events. The facility is bright and clean and welcoming. Many community groups attend professional development organized by United Way or use the large meeting room for an Agency event.

There is no better organization in the city. Partnering with the best of Winnipeg not-for-profit agencies to make our community a better place.

Frustrating. No way to contact anyone unless you know a mailbox number. Called after supposedly open for 40 minutes.

Nice place, people are friendly, beautiful building

Greatful.

One of the most important non for profit organizations in this city.

Help desk is awesome even on weekends

While the location isn't on the safer sides of the city, there is a night watch crew that can escort you to where you need to go which is excellent. The building itself is very modern and has an excellent, new"

I love the United Way and UNICEF I've supported them since I was a child!!

great organization, good education opportunities
