How much should I give?

Making a contribution to United Way is a personal decision. It's up to you to decide what gift level best reflects your ability to give and your commitment to helping those in need in our community. Last year, the average gift from individual donors in the Alberta Capital Region was $298.

My spouse gives at work. Do I need to give?

United Way is a total community effort, the results of which benefit everyone. If both spouses work, each is asked to give a share of what they earn. You need to make your own decision. Some spouses choose to give separately while others combine their gifts in order to be recognized as Leaders of the Way.

What if I feel too pressured to give to United Way?

No one should feel forced to give to United Way. Giving is a personal choice that should be made voluntarily. If you feel that someone is pressuring you to give, please speak to your Employee Campaign Chair or contact your United Way representative.
