Track: Human Services
Authors: Paul Steeves

For more than 80 years, United Way Ottawa (UWO) has evolved to meet the needs in our community. Today our promise to donors is that we will invest resources where they are needed most and where they will have the greatest impact. In order to address today’s social challenges and stay true to our promise, UWO has adopted ArcGIS to share goals with stakeholders, optimally allocate resources, tell the story of need and impact, and share our important work with the community in a captivating way.
