Financial Report

Commitment to Community

United Way raises funds and invests them locally for maximum impact. We are able to accomplish this thanks to generous donors, partners, and supporters. United Way KFL&A is proud to announce that our organization has, once again, been recognized by Charity Intelligence on their top 100 Rated Charities list for 2019. The list looks at 750 charities across the country and rates them based on rating methodology.

Our financial statements are audited by an independent auditor and are available online at: www.unitedwaykfla.ca/financial-statements/

Effective, Efficient and Accountable

We actively solicit in-kind donations, sponsorships, pro-bono services and the support of volunteers to keep expenses
as low as possible. This ensures that as much as possible of every dollar goes directly to the community.
Every year, thousands of volunteers come together to raise funds for services that benefit their family, friends and neighbours.
