United Way of the Midlands:
- Click on this link. The link will lead to a UNMC single sign-on page.
- Employees can sign in with their UNMC username and password. These should auto populate.
- Once signed in, the employee will be directed to a personalized giving page.
- Donate.
- A “no pledge” option is available for employees who choose not to donate. Employees who are unable to contribute still 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 to your account this month.

This week’s highlighted organization: Give Nebraska
What is Give Nebraska and how is it different from other giving agencies?
Founded in 1981, Give Nebraska is a federation of nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life in Nebraska. It exists to connect donors to the causes they care about most.
With its donor-directed system, Give Nebraska ensures that contributions support member agencies as designated, rather than by predetermined allocation levels.
“Give Nebraska strongly believes in empowering donors to make independent decisions about their philanthropy,” said Melissa Filipi, Give Nebraska executive director. “Donors have the option – no matter the size of their gift – to designate their donation dollars to over 70 different statewide agencies.”
