Programs
About United Way of Regina:
Founded in 1967, United Way of Regina (UWR) funds programs in the Regina area to improve lives and build a strong community. UWR’s three main programs are: All That Kids Can Be, Poverty to Possibility, and Healthy People, Strong Communities. In F2018, UWR granted $1.3 million. The three largest grant recipients were: Family Services Regina ($155k), YWCA–Regina ($147k), and Cornwall Alternative School ($108k).
Out of Regina’s 33,000 students, 26% are not at grade-level reading by grade three. The All the Kids Can Be program focus is to prepare children for school and provide them with access to learning enrichment programs. The programs UWR funded resulted in 1,600 literacy kits being created and distributed to kids. These programs have resulted in 27 teen parents being able to graduate high school and 157 at-risk youth being re-engaged in school.
In Regina, 19,000 households experience housing affordability issues due to high costs. The Poverty to Possibilities program invests in organizations that run housing stability and crisis relief programs. UWR’s investment has led to 14,243 food boxes being distributed to families in need. UWR also supported programs that helped 402 people gain stable housing and 131 people gain meaningful job skills.
The charity reports that many new immigrants experience barriers when trying to access social services. The Strong Communities program invests in programs that reduce individual isolation within the members of their community and aid newcomers to the community in accessing the support they need. UWR’s investment helped programs allowing 167 new immigrants to increase their knowledge of community services and supported 59 people with mental health challenges.
