Unite with Trent team and support Peterborough and Durham
The United Way helps those in need and the agencies that provide necessary services and resources.
The Trent community is caring, compassionate and connected. For almost 60 years, we've shown how much we care about our home communities by giving generously to the United Way campaign. Each year, staff, faculty and retirees come together to raise funds for the many different service organizations and those they support in our community.
2024 Workplace Campaign
We have set two ambitious goals for this year's campaign. Together, we can reach them. With your help, we can raise $120,000 and inspire 15 new donors to join our campaign. Can we count on your support?
Why Give to the United Way?
Did you know that Trent's donation accounts for 10% of Peterborough's community campaign? As the largest workplace donation, our contributions are vital for the operation of United Way and its partner agencies, which rely on our support to provide essential services and resources to our community.
Your investment goes far, but not far away! Your gift to Trent's United Way campaign directly fuels positive change in our local communities. With your help, we can bridge the gap and improve access to essential services for our neighbours, ensuring that individuals and families in need have the tools, resources, and support to build a better future.
Social change is made in local communities through the United Way’s support for 20 partner agencies and 275 programs in both Peterborough and Durham that address issues facing our community including homelessness, food insecurity, domestic violence, and mental health challenges. You can find a detailed breakdown of how the United Way Peterborough & District uses all of our contributions in their Community Impact Report for 2022-2023.
United Way Ambassadors
United Way Ambassadors are champions of change who help promote Trent’s workplace campaign, educate colleagues about the vital work done by the United Way and its partner agencies, and organize fundraising initiatives. By fostering a culture of giving and involvement, United Way Ambassadors help create a lasting impact, making our community a better place to live, work, and thrive.
We’re looking for passionate faculty and staff to join the United Way Ambassador team. Are you ready to make a difference?
