Donations to United Way Halifax make cherished and thoughtful gifts for every occasion.

Giving a gift in honour is a great way to demonstrate your commitment to community while expressing gratitude, love or appreciation to someone in your life. In addition to marking milestones like birthdays or an anniversary, it’s also an opportunity to celebrate workplace milestones, exceptional service or special holidays.

Whether you’re making a personal donation or a corporate donation to honour someone, you can personalize an e-card to mark the occasion. Below are some examples of ways you can honour a person or team with a donation:

• Staff team accomplishments
• Recognizing long service
• Celebrating retirement
• Celebrating a special holiday, such as International Women’s Day, African Heritage Month etc
• Gifts in memory
• A birthday, special anniversary or celebrating new beginnings

Halifax Regional Municipality recognizes staff across their organization for various employment milestones and important events. HRM also offers staff receiving a long service award the opportunity to redirect the gift as a donation to United Way.  

I feel grateful to be recognized for my service, but it means far more that HRM is willing to redirect my gift as a donation to United Way. This one small gesture multiplied by others will have a tangible impact. I would encourage others who want to make a difference to do the same. – Holly
