Mission Statement
Community Agencies Benefit Plans acts on behalf of organizations within the philanthropic sector and extends benefits to employees. The plan seeks to provide Members with a comprehensive, cost-effective benefit package to enhance morale and ensure security and well-being.
History
Community Agencies Benefit Plans changed it’s name from United Way Agencies’ Employee Benefits on March 1, 2012 to reflect the membership of the plans that have expanded to include not-for-profit social service agencies in Manitoba.
Pension Plan
Formed in February 1971 the Retirement Plan has a long and rich history of providing a defined benefit pension plan to its Members. As the name implies your benefit at retirement is defined by the Plan’s formula. Originally formed to provide a pension for employees of United Way of Winnipeg and “United Way Agencies” membership has expanded to include not-for-profit social service agencies in Manitoba.
Group Plan
Started a few years after the Retirement Plan, in 1979 the Group Insurance Plan is specially designed for not-for-profit social service agencies. Like the Retirement Plan, membership has expanded beyond “United Way Agencies”.
Enrollment in the Plan is a condition of employment with all Agencies. All permanent full-time and permanent part-time employees must enroll in the Plan. Benefit coverage is also extended to eligible family members.
