The purpose of this survey is to determine how Yukon non-profits use charitable gaming revenue as part of their overall fundraising strategy.

Your responses to this survey will be used to provide recommendations to the Yukon Government Department of Community Services, which regulates and licenses charitable gaming. The aim is to improve the experience for Yukon non-profits so they can benefit from this fundraising opportunity.

There is no prize for participating in this charitable gaming survey, but you may be contacted for follow up questions to provide additional information. Responses will be kept confidential.

The survey has 10 questions and should take 5-10 minutes to complete.  To access the survey, click on the link below:

Yukon Charitable Gaming Survey – Take 2

What motivates YOU to donate to projects in your community? Let us know. We are looking to hear from partners and donors, no matter the amount you contribute.

Here’s a message from volunteer, donor and United Way Yukon President David Whiteside!

What motivates YOU to donate to projects in your community? Let us know. United Way Yukon is launching a series today called “Why I give.” We are looking to hear from partners and donors, no matter the amount you contribute.

Thanks Leslie for sending in this message! Get a hold of us and tell us why YOU give.

Thank you to Yukon Premier Sandy Silver for joining us this morning as we raised the United Way flag in Whitehorse. We also thank the City of Whitehorse for displaying our flag this month at City Hall.

It’s always a proud moment for us to see our flag, the “helping hand,” flying high.

October is United Way Month, watch for more updates on fundraising happening this month!

With your support since September we have raised a total of $31,221 and are working on a campaign goal of $80,000 this year.

Thank you all for your support

There is an amazing contribution we want to highlight today! The Yukon Energy Food Security Network has received a contribution of $15,000 from Sysco Canada.

The YE Food Network is focusing on food security across Yukon. The goal is the establishment of a collaborative food security network within each Yukon community.

This a partnership between United Way Yukon, the Whitehorse Food Bank and the Yukon Anti Poverty Coalition, energized with support and sponsorship from Yukon Energy.

In 2020 this agency published a comprehensive report on food security in Yukon. The next step is to build on what has been learned and mobilize volunteers in all communities to make healthy, affordable food more available.

The United Way Yukon annual Breakfast and Silent auction raises funds for projects that benefit all Yukoners. All proceeds from this auction go to United Way Yukon’s Community Investment Fund, which supports Yukon non-profits who deliver critical services and programs. United Way Yukon funds local projects in three priority areas: All That Kids Can Be, Healthy People Strong Communities, and From Poverty To Possibility.

It’s back!  Join us on Friday September 16 for the 2022 United Way Yukon Pancake Breakfast.  

We appreciate you sticking with us over the last 2 years while we did the Covid shuffle with take out breakfasts.

This year it’s dine-in or take-out, you choose.  We have really missed the sense of community that happened with a sit down breakfast, but we understand that take-out works for many people.

All meals will be available inside the Longhouse at the Cultural Centre.  If you are picking up a number of take-out meals we will help you get it out to your car.

Breakfast will be served from 7:00-9:30AM

Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, $5 for youth
