What you can do
The aim of this campaign is neither to damage the United Way Ottawa brand nor to diminish its fundraising abilities. We seek a UWO that works collaboratively with community partners, one that is open, transparent and accountable to the community it serves. We encourage UWO members to donate in the best way they see fit and to the best of their abilities. The strength of our community relies on the support of its members. To make donations to support our community, here are some options:

If you plan to donate to UWO you might consider designating your donation. When you designate your donation the charity of your choice will receive 85% of your donation after 15% is recovered for fundraising costs. A further 5% is deducted from pledged gifts such as payroll deductions that are promised but never received. Please inform the agency directly if you wish them to be aware of the designation. 
 
You may consider donating to the charity of your choice through www.canadahelps.com. Charities will receive 96.1% of your contribution.

You can also donate directly to a local charity by calling in with your credit card number or mailing a cheque.
