O U R V I S I O NOur community is measurably better because of the work of United Way/Centraide Ottawa and others.
O U R M I S S I O NTo bring people and resources together to build a strong, healthy, safe community for all.
O U R P R O M I S ETo invest resources where they’re needed the most, and where they’ll have the greatest impact.
Building community… changing lives.
In 2006, United Way/Centraide Ottawa made a record community investment to support 177 projects, programs and partnerships, in 98 different community organizations.
In the 2006 campaign, United Way/Centraide raised a record $28.2 million.
A “New Space” — 2006 signalled significant change for United Way/Centraide Ottawa – change that moved us into a new space, in more ways than one. We launched the year with a move to a new physical space at 363 Coventry Road. More significantly, with the hard work and support of donors, volunteers, partners and staff, 2006 also marked a number of achievements that represent the new space United Way/Centraide occupies as a community building organization.
Our new headquarters offer a more central, accessible location and provide much-needed meeting space that has benefited United Way/Centraide and the community we serve. Our space is available for community groups and agencies that need meeting facilities. When our six new Impact Councils made up of close to 100 community volunteers launched into action early in the year, we had the space we needed for many meetings and consultations. And we are now expanding our role as a convenor and host of community groups and organizations choosing to work with us and others to ensure coordination of service and program delivery and to affect social change. Our vision for our new home as a true community space has become a reality.
We also moved closer to achieving our larger vision — that our community will be measurably better as a result of the work of United Way/Centraide and others. With the deep and specialized knowledge of our Impact Council members, we developed impact plans that focus investments strategically in six impact areas. This was in addition to the work carried out by the dedicated volunteers who serve on the Board of Directors, the Campaign Cabinet, the Community Services Cabinet
MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
“Our v i s i on o f ou r new home a s a t rue commun i t y space has become a r ea l i t y . La s t yea r ’ s move gave u s room to g row — to ex tend ou r r each , to inv i t e o the r s to cont r i bu te , and to sha re ou r space . ” M i chae l A l l en , Ma rk Su t c l i f f e
and on our numerous advisory and special initiative committees. Equally important, in consultation with community agencies and others, we began work on new tools that will improve the way we measure the impact of the investment of our donors — tools that agencies will put to use in the coming year. The leadership that these groups bring to the work of United Way/Centraide is the foundation of our ability to “build a strong, healthy, safe community for all”.
United Way/Centraide’s mission requires a broad view of the community as well as the capacity to engage people in many different ways. Under the inspired and inclusive leadership of our community campaign chair, Police Chief Vince Bevan, people responded strongly to the theme “Everyday Heroes,” which underscored that a city isn’t great unless it’s great for everyone. Donors contributed a record $28.2 million — $2.3 million more than in 2005! The participation of donors and volunteers increased in other meaningful ways in 2006, and this growing level of engagement is a strong sign that we can continue to make a difference in this community in the years to come.
Last year’s move gave us room to grow — to extend our reach, to invite others to contribute, to share our space and become part of what we do. As always, moving forward we will be sure to stay close to the changes and developments taking place around us, allowing us to remain responsive to our community as issues arise and priorities shift. More and more often we are asked to play a role in key community initiatives — analyzing need, setting agendas, developing resources and bringing people and organizations together.
Whatever the issue, if it is relevant to the realization of our vision, mission and promise — if it is about building community and changing lives — we will make the space to pull up a chair and get involved.
As donors, volunteers, agencies and partners, you share with us the special space that United Way/Centraide Ottawa occupies, not just at 363 Coventry Road, but throughout the community: in neighbourhoods, at discussion tables, in everyday lives. Thank you for continuing to contribute to our shared vision of a better community.

PEOPLE...United Way/Centraide Ottawa is Fuelled by Community Engagement
Each year we mobilize more than 14,000 volunteers. The engagement of these volunteers is essential to our success on many fronts. It allows us to keep our campaign costs among the lowest in North America — about 15 percent; it allows us to leverage additional resources such as “loaned representatives” and donations of gifts in-kind; we benefit from the knowledge and skills of senior volunteers who provide governance, financial and strategic counsel and oversight; and hundreds of agency speakers and those whose lives have been changed generously share their personal stories every year.
Here are a few of the many examples of our community’s engagement during 2006.

2006 Resource Development Achievements Reached New Heights
The 2006 achievement of $28.2 million marks the largest amount raised by United Way/Centraide in our 73-year history. Over 10 weeks, thousands of campaign volunteers canvassed colleagues, held potlucks, book sales, loonie-toonie races and many other fundraising events to help achieve the campaign goal. These were the real heroes of the campaign. The groundswell of grassroots support showed that we are indeed a very caring community.
Some outstanding resource development high points in 2006 include:
“People in the community need to know it ’ s not a burden to volunteer and be a special part of someone’s l i fe. You end up gett ing so much out of i t . It would be a cold, cold wor ld i f nobody took the t ime to care about others.”

She found a spot in a 24-hour attendant-care residence and Rae is now picking out paint colours and taking her first steps toward independence.

In the past five years, close to $1.2 million worth of in-kind goods and services were donated in our community through United Way/Centraide.
Here are highlights of United Way/Centraide’s community investment in 2006, from dollars raised in 2005:

STRONG, HEALTHY, SAFE...United Way/Centraide Ottawa Invested a Record $21.5 Million in 2006
To fulfill our mission of building a strong, healthy, safe community for all, as always, in 2006 we supported a variety of essential agency programs. We also invested resources into partnerships and projects that work on long-term solutions to complex community challenges — like Ottawa’s aging population and new Canadians seeking employment and other supports. We work with all kinds of groups to invest resources where they are needed the most: networks, corporate sponsors, labour, community groups, agencies and government partners.
Our priorities are well defined. We invest resources in programs, projects and partnerships that make a difference in six Impact Areas:
Promoting healthy development for children and youth
Reducing isolation and enhancing seniors’ quality of life
Reducing barriers and increasing participation for people with disabilities
Strengthening individuals and families in times of need and crisis
Reducing barriers and increasing engagement for immigrants
Strengthening agency, neighbourhood and community capacity
