United Way Digital Archives Project

The Saskatoon United Way has worked for over sixty years to create change in the city of Saskatoon, making lives better for all city residents. The organization works to change the lives of vulnerable children, youth and their families so they have the means to thrive as strong citizens in the community. They work to combat issues including mental health, poverty, homelessness, and racism.
The United Way provides funding for long and short-term change, investing in local programs and organizations to meet the needs of those most vulnerable. To achieve long-term change, the United Way participates in research, strategy development, investments, partnerships, evaluation, and advocacy.
Approaching its 65th anniversary, the organization is looking to better examine its organizational history. The United Way is partnering with the University of Saskatchewan History Department’s CoLab – Centre for Community-Engaged and Collaborative Historical Research (CoLab) to review and document its organizational history, highlighting the organization’s significant contributions to the lives of Saskatoon residents.
