Welcome
The United Way of Northern British Columbia
Locally driven and regionally governed, the United Way of Northern British Columbia is dedicated to improving the quality of life by advancing the common good... when we reach out a hand to one we influence the condition of all. We all benefit when a child succeeds, when families are financially stable, seniors are involved in community activities, and when people are healthy and safe.
It takes everyone working together to create a brighter future and United Way provides the means for all of us to come together, United, to take action for positive social change.
What We Do
- Invest in a strategic combination of proven programs;
- Fundraise and build resource partnerships so donations and contributions are available to support programs and initiatives;
- Work with community partners to find long-term solutions to community issues;
- Provide leadership and support to the non-profit sector; and
- Provide the means for you to make an effective and efficient investment of time, talent and treasure to your community.
"United Way is a leader in understanding the root causes and social issues in our region and in bringing together people and resources to find and implement lasting solutions."
Who We Help
Funding and support is provided to kids, families, seniors and individuals through United Way’s network of care:
- Building successful kids and empowered families
- Helping seniors remained involved and independent
- Ensuring healthy citizens and safe, supportive communities

Mission & Promise
Our mission is to improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action.
Our promise to you is to invest resources where they are needed the most and where they will have the most impact to the most people. Our efforts positively affect the lives of 1 in 3 individuals in northern British Columbia. 90 cents of every dollar donated is reinvested into programs and services helping your friends, relatives and neighbours throughout the region.
United Way - Investing in Northern BC Communities
The United Way of Northern British Columbia has a service region encompassing the northern 2/3 of the province of BC – from Quesnel in the south to the Yukon border in the north, and from Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands) in the west to the Alberta border in the east. Our governance and operating structure ensures we are able to work with partners to develop and implement solutions to critical social issues on a regional and local level.
