This year’s overall campaign goal for the United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington is $3.82 million.

Queen’s donors play a critical role in supporting more than 54,000 individuals in our community through the campaign. These essential funds are critical to supporting programs that help to advance our goals of No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Gender Equality, and Quality and Education in our community.

Queen’s staff, faculty, and retirees are leaders in the community and have come together to create the largest workplace and retiree campaign within the region. A report by Deloitte showed that Queen’s community members annually raise well over $1 million to support local causes while students put in thousands of volunteer hours with local agencies and programs.
