United Way Sydney is one of over 3,300 United Way organisations around the world. United Way organisations are community based, and our work is carried out at community level.
We are united by one essential, universal idea - that members of a community can come together voluntarily, pool their resources and knowledge, and work together to address their most compelling human needs.
United Way Sydney aims to improve the lives of those people in need in Sydney. We do this by investing donations and volunteer time into grassroots community projects
Our resources are raised from our Corporate Community Involvement programs (CCI) that include:
We have no religious or political affiliations and are accreditated by the ATO as a Deductible Gift Recipient organisation.
Our national United Way network gives us the capacity and capability of developing national CCI programs that "think nationally but engage locally"
