The 2022 UNMC employee giving campaign kicks off today and will run through Nov. 30.
“As employees of this university and caring citizens of this community, we share a common hope for Nebraska to be a thriving place where everyone has the opportunity to live a safe, stable and successful life,” said Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, chancellor of UNMC. “Unfortunately, the lingering effects of the pandemic and ever-rising inflation have left many of our fellow Nebraskans vulnerable, so I ask you to join me in making a much-needed contribution to this year’s campaign.”
Hear from Chancellor Gold on why this year’s campaign is important.
This year, employees have the opportunity to participate via two different pathways: the United Way of the Midlands campaign and Give Nebraska (formerly the Community Service Fund of Nebraska).
UNMC has set a goal of 50% employee participation.
- United Way of the Midlands, which supports a variety of human-service program providers across the Omaha/Council Bluffs area. United Way-supported programs create life-changing opportunities by meeting the basic needs of the area’s most vulnerable populations, supporting children during their academic years and helping to prepare young people for productive careers. Click here to view a list of supported programs.
- Give Nebraska, which connects donors to the causes they care about most. With more than 70 non-profit agencies to choose from, donors can determine where their money goes. A list of supported agencies can be found here.
See these instructions for more details on donating. For additional security purposes, a few changes have been made since last year’s campaign.
United Way of the Midlands:
- Click on this link. (The link goes to the UNMC eServ page.)
- Employees can sign in with their UNMC username and password.
- Once logged in, click the “red” link to donate to the United Way of the Midlands.
- Login in with the username and password emailed this morning from “epledge@uwmidlands.org”
- Donate.
- A “no pledge” option is available for employees who choose not to donate. Employees who are unable to contribute are encouraged to access the ePledge website and submit a “no donation” response. A “no donation” response counts toward total employee participation. After an employee has submitted a donation or no donation response, United Way will no longer send additional giving emails this month.
Give Nebraska:
- Click on this link. (The link goes to the UNMC eServ page.)
- Employees can sign in with their UNMC username and password.
- Once logged in, click the “blue” link to donate to Give Nebraska.
- Register and donate.
Employees can give by credit card on the online giving site, as well as through payroll deduction, cash or check. Campaign pledges, which can be made through UNMC’s payroll deduction, are automatically withdrawn from the last check in December 2022 for biweekly paid employees and January 2023 for employees paid monthly.
To help meet the campus goal of 50% employee participation, UNMC is offering incentives.
- Those who pledge at least $10 total will be eligible to win a prize each week of the campaign. Donations made by Fridays at 3 p.m. qualify for that week’s drawing, as well as subsequent drawings.
- The earlier the donation, the better the chance at winning.
- Drawing winners will be notified via email.
