ISU United Way Campaign Kickoff Nov. 1- 30
Our annual ISU United Way Campaign will be held in November. Idaho State University is the largest donor in southeastern Idaho and because of the generosity of ISU faculty and staff we beat our goal last year to earn over $67,000 for our communities! This year we have some fun and exciting events planned, along with incentives, to encourage our ISU community to contribute to the community and help us reach this year's goal of $65,000.

You can designate your dollars to go toward any 501c3 entity, including ISU departments or programs. For example, you can donate to ‘Benny’s Pantry’ through the ISU Foundation. Because of corporate sponsorships that cover United Way costs, 100% of your donation goes to the agency you specify, and if you don’t specify, your donation will go to one of the agencies that the United Way supports.
PRIZES
- 1 Year Reserved Parking Spaces, Apple iPads, FitBit, ISU Bookstore gift cards, Performing Arts tickets, Yurt Night, 1 year Campus Rec Passes, and lots of gift cards, ISU gear, and much more!
End of Campaign Event – Drawing for all challenges will be held on December 9, 12-1 pm, in the Pond SUB Quad. Cookies and hot chocolate will be served. You do NOT have to be present to win and we will contact those whose names were drawn!
* Keep in mind that prizes are taxable, and if you are unwilling or unable to pay the tax, the drawing item can be declined.
