At that time, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish charities began to raise funds to strengthen their communities. Over the years, the United Way-Centraide was known as the Red Feather, the Community Chest, and the United Appeal. In the 1970s, these organizations adopted the name of United Way and Centraide.

Le Mouvement Centraide - United Way a pris naissance au Canada, au début du XXe siècle. À l'époque, les associations de bienfaisance catholiques, protestantes et juives commençaient à recueillir des fonds afin de venir en aide aux plus démunis de leur milieu respectif. Au cours des années, le Mouvement a adopté divers noms : la Plume Rouge, la Caisse de bienfaisance et United Appeal. Dans les années 70, ces organismes ont décidé de retenir le nom Centraide et United Way. Centraide Canada - United Way of Canada est une organisation pancanadienne créée en 1939 et financée par 126 Centraide - United Way membres au Canada.
