"To support and strengthen the organized capacity of our community to care for one another"
To this end,
We continually raise funds, striving for annual growth to meet vital community needs.
We allocate donor dollars in response to current and changing human care needs
We strengthen the non-profit sector by providing organizational and other support services to community voluntary organizations
The United Way Vision Our vision is a community with a strong social services network where individuals can develop their potential for self-sufficiency and personal well-being
Funding Philosophy The United Way will fund programs and services that meet the intent of our Funding Philosophy.
Funds will be allocated to support local human care needs through programs and services in the City of Kingston and the counties of Frontenac, Lennox & Addington.
Recognizing the uniqueness of the communities in the area we serve, our United Way will strategically invest in services that:
Will enhance the capacity of people to both care for themselves and for one another;
Give people the opportunity to have input into decisions that affect them;
Are accountable, inclusive, responsive to needs of the communities, and eliminate barriers that prevent people from accessing services;
Are preventive, growth-oriented and directed to strengthening communities and individuals of all ages;
Will help individuals live with hope, dignity and a sense of belonging
