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.

A little extra reason to be thankful this long weekend! ❤️
A big thank you to @cityptbo for organizing a Thanksgiving food drive as part of their United Way workplace campaign! These generous donations will support two of our community partners, @yesshelterptbo and @ywca.peterborough.haliburton
It’s a great reminder that workplace campaigns are about so much more than fundraising. They’re about finding meaningful ways to show up for our community and make a difference together.
Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and restful Thanksgiving long weekend!
