About Us

United Way Peterborough & District (UWP) is proud to be the largest non-governmental funder of social services in our region. For nearly 85 years, generous donors have helped us build a stronger, more inclusive community.

As we evolve to meet changing community needs, we’re transforming how we engage, collaborate, and invest—deepening relationships, strengthening partnerships, and amplifying collective impact.
