2024 ISU United Way Campaign

October 1-31

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our annual ISU United Way Campaign. 

Idaho State University has proudly been a United Way partner for over 65 years! This enduring partnership has allowed us to support over two dozen local non-profit agencies in their work to help families who are Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, and Employed (A.L.I.C.E.). Donations raised through this campaign stay in the local community for each of our campus locations. The local agencies supported in each area are linked at the bottom of this page. You may also find ways to volunteer or be involved outside of financial support. 

Contributing to the ISU United Way Campaign is now more convenient than ever. You can opt for a payroll deduction, start from your first paycheck in January, use our electronic donation form, or make a donation in person with a check, cash, or card at one of our engaging events. More details below. 

At ISU, we respect and support your personal choices in charitable giving. The annual United Way Campaign is just one of the many ways you can contribute to a cause you care about. Remember, your participation is entirely voluntary, and you are under no obligation to donate. All donations will be directed to the United Way in your area! 

We have many opportunities to learn more about the United Way and ways to support or use the services aligned with their mission. All events are open to the ISU campus communities.  Additional events may be added.

*If you wish to give to an ISU department, on your donation form under the Tax-Exempt Charitable Organization section, write ISU Foundation - then the specific department you wish to support. For example: ISU Foundation - ISU Meridian Scholarship Fund, ISU Veteran Student Services or ISU Benny's Pantry.
