United Way Campaign Reaches 30% of Goal, Prize Winners Announced

Through faculty, staff, retiree and special events donations, the Pitt United Way Campaign has raised more than $227,000 — 30% of its overall $750,000 goal.

The campaign will accept donations through the end of March 2020, and programming will continue during the spring 2020 semester.

How to donate

The Pitt United Way Campaign website has information about how you can donate to support the Pitt campaign.

Options to give include online through a recurring payroll deduction or a one-time gift; or by credit card, check or pledge form.

Donors can contribute to the United Way Impact Fund, through which the United Way targets funds to support the local agencies that serve populations facing the most critical current needs, or donors can instead choose from hundreds of local and regional organizations to direct their contributions toward.
