- 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 their account this month.
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 Campaign pledges, which can be made through UNMC’s payroll deduction, are automatically withdrawn from the last check in December 2024 for biweekly paid employees and January 2025 for employees paid monthly.

This week’s highlighted organization: United Way of the Midlands
For more than 100 years, United Way of the Midlands has raised funds across the community to directly support local needs. Through its ongoing partnerships with corporate and government organizations, nonprofits and individual donors, United Way of the Midlands uses its communitywide perspective to address emerging challenges and create a circle of support to help those who are struggling to get back on their feet and build a brighter future.
Donations to the United Way help fund more than 150 local nonprofit programs and direct services that have been vetted by experts and community volunteers. Together, these programs and services are addressing social and economic disparities here in our community and meeting families’ essential needs such as healthy food, safe and stable housing, physical and mental health services, career preparation and job training.
