Based on our 2021-22 audited financial statements, 77 cents from every dollar raised is invested in community programs and supports. The remaining 23 cents is allocated to operations, making sure our impact, local expertise, donor experience, and financial management continue at a high rate of excellence.

This meets the Canadian Revenue Agency’s standard and reflects a level of effectiveness and excellence that our donors have come to trust and expect.

As a registered Canadian charity, United Way Halifax files a T3010 report with CRA annually; the latest CRA T3010 data, detailing all of United Way’s costs, can be found here. 

We do not currently disclose the salaries for any positions at United Way Halifax, however, all salary ranges, including senior management, are benchmarked against other Canadian non-profit organizations of similar size and scope. United Way Halifax complies with the required T3010 regulatory reporting to CRA for its executive compensation, which can be viewed here. 

For cash, cheque, and credit card donations, the fee is 4% of your total gift. For payroll deductions, the fee is 8% of your total gift. These fees help cover the costs associated with this service.

We provide funding to a wide range of programs and services, managing investments in each and connecting the dots between them. This helps ensure that every dollar donated fills gaps in care and possibility, making the greatest impact.

You can find descriptions of the funds we currently manage, as well as a list of the charity recipients for each one on our Provide Funding page.

When you donate to United Way Halifax, you can take advantage of federal and provincial government tax incentives. By claiming your donation receipt, you may receive a portion of your donated amount back when filing your taxes. You may also consider carrying your charitable donations forward to the next tax year to receive a larger tax deduction. When donating publicly traded securities directly, you can eliminate the capital gain tax and get a larger tax credit.

To ensure the security of your personal information, we ask that you call us rather than send credit card details via email.
