United Way is changing the way it works with residents, community partners and local service providers to support the new Cradle to Career strategy.

United Way is focusing its community investments on improving outcomes for children and youth in Windsor-Essex County in the areas of out-of-school programs, improving elementary math and literacy outcomes, mental health, and nutrition.

Our three priority neighbourhoods include Downtown Windsor, West Windsor, and Leamington.

Now more than ever, Community Service Organizations (charities, non-profits, and Indigenous Governing Bodies) are playing a key role in addressing persistent and complex social problems faced by all Canadians. The Community Services Recovery Fund is a $400 million investment from the Government of Canada to support charities, non-profits, and Indigenous Governing Bodies as they focus on how to adapt their organizations for pandemic recovery.

United Way Centraide Windsor-Essex County is proud to be delivering the Community Services Recovery Fund. This fund is a collaboration between the Canadian Red Cross, Community Foundations of Canada, and United Way Centraide Canada to provide funding to Community Service Organizations, including non-profit organizations, Indigenous Governing Bodies or Registered Charities located in Canada. The Community Services Recovery Fund responds to what Community Service Organizations need right now and supports organizations as they adapt to the long-term impacts of the pandemic.

United Way Centraide Windsor-Essex will be administering the Community Services Recovery Fund in Windsor-Essex as well as in Chatham-Kent. As Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent are close-knit neighbouring communities, organizations from both communities will use the same application portal and materials. When you are ready to apply in our application portal, you will be asked to select your community. There is a separate dedicated fund for each Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent, and applications will be assessed based on the unique considerations of each community.

*Organizations applying through United Way Windsor-Essex that are incorporated non-profits (i.e., not registered charities) must apply with a lead agency that is a registered charity and can hold funds on their behalf. Our team can help you identify and secure a lead agency if required.

Plus que jamais, les organismes de bienfaisance et les organismes à but non lucratif jouent un rôle de premier plan pour offrir des solutions aux problèmes sociaux persistants et complexes qui affectent les Canadiens et Canadiennes. Le Fonds de relance des services communautaires est un investissement de 400 millions de dollars du gouvernement du Canada pour aider les organismes de bienfaisance et les organismes à but non lucratif à bâtir leur résilience en investissant dans leurs gens, leurs organisations et l’innovation de leurs programmes.

Centraide du Windsor-Essex County est fier de participer au Fonds de relance des services communautaires, une collaboration entre Centraide United Way Canada, la Croix-Rouge canadienne et les Fondations communautaires du Canada pour fournir du financement aux organismes communautaires, incluant les organismes à but non lucratif, les corps dirigeants autochtones et les organismes de bienfaisance enregistrés situés partout au Canada. Le Fonds de relance des services communautaires est une réponse aux besoins actuels des organismes de bienfaisance et organismes à but non lucratif. Il les aidera à s’adapter aux effets à long terme de la pandémie de COVID-19.
