Meet our 2022 Neighbourhood Fund Recipients

We are so pleased to announce the 8 recipients of our 2022 Neighbourhood Fund totaling $25,000.

The UWP Neighbourhood Fund provides small, one-time grants to support informal groups of individuals that are working together to improve their neighbourhood, whether that be a physical place or a connection of people within the City and County of Peterborough. This funding serves to enhance resident engagement and leadership while offering valuable opportunities for residents to identify solutions to local community issues and empower action.

“Our Neighbourhood Fund is more than just a grant, it is an opportunity for people to come together and imagine new ways to improve their community. As experts in their own communities, these recipients have identified specific social needs and developed creative solutions for addressing them.  We are pleased to support projects related to inclusion, environmental sustainability, skill building, artistic expression, and fostering positive social connections.

-United Way Peterborough & District CEO Jim Russell

Have a winter coat, a warm sweater or a pair of boots you no longer need? Put them to good use! 🧥

You’re not seeing double, your generosity can go twice as far!

For 85 years, neighbours have been coming together to build a stronger, more caring Peterborough community. This year, there’s an extra reason to celebrate: eligible donations will be matched dollar for dollar!

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, new donations of $85 or more, as well as any increase to an existing gift, will be matched 100% through our 2026 Community Campaign.

This is the third and final year of this incredible matching gift, making it a special opportunity to double your impact and help support the network of 20 local agencies working to strengthen our community.

Whether you’re making your first gift or increasing your support, your generosity makes a difference.

85 years united. Double the impact. Stronger together.

🧡 Today we wear orange. In honour of every child who was taken. Every family that was broken. Every survivor who carried the weight of what should never have happened.

Reconciliation is not a moment; it’s a responsibility we carry every day.
