United Way’s Women United in Philanthropy (WUIP) strives to ensure our community’s most vulnerable children enter kindergarten ready to succeed in school.
By bringing together the knowledge, compassion and financial resources of women, we are helping change the future for children in the Lower Mainland. Donations raised by WUIP go towards programs that help parents and caregivers access the information and support services they need to nurture their children. Our efforts are closely aligned with Success By 6, a comprehensive community plan for addressing school readiness.

Congratulations to Women United in Philanthropy and the many volunteers who made possible an amazing fundraising event for United Way on May 29, 2011. One bag, one pair of shoes, one coat at a time, together, we’re changing the future by helping children to be ready for school. That’s a fashion trend worth celebrating.
Thanks to everyone who lined up and shopped at yesterdays’ inaugural Fashionista’s Ball. Thanks to the many volunteers for spending a sunny Sunday inside. Thanks to the many women across Canada who donated over 3,000 items for the sale.
