Why Give for Good?
Powered by United Way of the Alberta Capital Region,
Give for Good is a new way to give to help our neighbours in need.
Giving Made Simple
Established in 2024, Give for Good, an initiative by United Way of the Alberta Capital Region, is an online platform that facilitates direct giving between givers and people in need through our social impact partners, ensuring a safe and secure donation process.
By partnering with social impact organizations, including frontline agencies, United Way’s Give for Good streamlines the giving process making it easier for agencies to communicate their needs and for the community to respond efficiently.

Who’s It For?
Give for Good is for people who are looking to make a direct impact at no cost, while clearing out items in their home that they no longer need.
It’s a safe solution by replacing sketchy meetups with verified agency partners and volunteers collecting your donations and delivering them to a neighbour in need.
Each donation, whether it’s clothing, furniture, or household goods, has the power to transform lives, and every item carries a story of generosity, compassion, and the belief in the inherent goodness of humanity.

United Way’s Commitment to Reconciliation
We are all Treaty people. United Way acknowledges our connection to one another, here on Treaty 6 Territory and Métis Nation of Alberta Region #4. The diverse Indigenous Peoples of this land include the nêhiyawak, Blackfoot, Dene, Anishinaabe, Nakota Sioux, Inuit, and Métis. Many of our staff are settlers living and working in this Territory. We all have a responsibility to uphold the spirit and intent of the original treaties and build relationships, trust, and understanding. We are grateful for the resources, knowledge, and culture Indigenous people share with us as we walk the path towards reconciliation together. We honour and respect Indigenous contributions supporting our work to ensure no one in our community is left behind.
