United Way Sudbury and Nipissing Districts carries out two primary functions: Campaign and Community Investment.

United Way’s Campaign is the development, planning, and implementation of an annual fundraising campaign, which supports a variety of social service programs in Greater Sudbury, Espanola, and area.

United Way’s Community Investment has two primary functions:  Identifying social/health related needs and distributing funds to meet these needs.  Social needs of the community are identified through the collection and compilation of information related to issues, trends, and opportunities in the social service sector.  Social needs planning also includes involvement in community planning activities through participation in local planning groups, community consultations, and facilitation of community planning processes.
