How your United Way donations help the community

The annual Idaho State University United Way Campaign is winding down and will end November 30. We will continue to accept donations until the winter break (Dec. 23). 100% of your donations go to the charity of your choice or to the agencies that the United Way supports. To see how you can give, see the directions below. There is Power in Giving to the United Way!

We support all of our employees and your personal choices in charitable giving. The annual United Way Campaign is one optional pathway for you to make a contribution to your charity of preference, but you are under no obligation to do so.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to have fundraising events, however, we have tried to simplify ways for you to support the agencies of your choice or the agencies supported by the United Way. Click to learn more about your local United Way:

United Way of Southeastern Idaho
