The 2021 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," UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, said. "Unfortunately, COVID-19 has 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."
This year, employees will again have the opportunity to participate via three different pathways: the United Way of the Midlands campaign, Give Nebraska (formerly the Community Service Fund of Nebraska) or the University of Nebraska Foundation campaign.
UNMC has a goal of 50 percent employee participation.

Hear from Chancellor Gold on why this year's campaign is important.
