Investments

Your United Way of Regina is this community’s largest non-governmental funder of human services and programs in Regina. Through our Circle of Care Community Fund, we support 33 funded partners and their work supporting our key community priorities.

Through our Tomorrow Fund we invest in innovative new programming and projects with both our funded and non-traditional partners.

Together the two streams of different investments are focused on the same thing: long-term, outcomes-based strategies that will create the type of change that will positively impact the quality of life for everyone in this community.

United Way of Regina Community Fund
Through the Community Fund, United Way of Regina provides core funding to a number of local community-based organizations that deliver important human service programming for the benefit of Regina citizens. The Community Fund is supported by the United Way’s annual “Circle of Care” fall fundraising campaign.

Funded partners are those organizations whose mandates and programs are aligned with United Way of Regina’s mission and community investment strategies.  (For a better understanding of our strategic investment direction visit our Community Priorities page.
