The United Way Mission
“To build and strengthen our community by bringing people and resources together to facilitate change”

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
