Purdue United Way
-
-
The Purdue United Way campaign is one of Purdue's most visible community impact initiatives.
-
The campaign is a community engagement priority for the President and Provost.
-
Purdue is rallying together this special year to rise from the #2 to the #1 employee campaign in the community.
-
The campaign supports a network of
24 nonprofits serving the spectrum of the community's needs in Tippecanoe County.
-
Every dollar you donate stays in our communities.
-
Many donors find that contributing 1-2% of their salary is a meaningful way to support without creating a burden.
-
Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors.
-
All participating employees will be entered to win
special giveaways like gift cards to Boilerhouse Prime, a round of golf for four, and more.
Donation Portal
-
Via the
donation portal, you can choose a one-time donation or monthly payroll deduction.
-
If you want to participate - but wish not to support all network nonprofits for a particular reason - you can designate your gift to one or more specific nonprofits via the portal.
-
If you want to participate - but wish to support a nonprofit outside the Tippecanoe or Central Indiana regions - you can designate 92% of your gift to a 501(c)(3) of your choosing via the portal.
-
Contact Lisa Duncan (llduncan@purdue.edu) with donation portal or other questions.
REMEMBER TO MAKE YOUR OWN PLEDGE
Thank you for your part in helping real people in our community, including our neighbors and coworkers, in their times of need.
Real people's lives will be better this year because of you.
In partnership,
