Through faculty, staff, retiree and special events donations, the Pitt United Way Campaign has raised more than $694,000—nearly 93% of its overall $750,000 goal.
The campaign will accept donations through the middle of April 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. There is still time to set up payroll deduction to begin in March by completing the pledge form by Monday, March 9.
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.
