Last year the U's annual charitable giving campaign raised $1.3 million and we had the highest participation level in a decade. This year we need your help to give even more--$1.45 million to help our community before October 31.
A Reason to Give
The 2014 Community Fund Drive begins on October 1 and runs through October 31. The theme is A Reason to Give, which reflects the University's long tradition of giving back to the community. The Community Fund Drive has six federation partners that work with nearly 500 agencies/charities. You can also make a pledge to your own favorite charity as long as it's a 501(c)3 organization. Select the federation or charity you want to support and give online at www.umn.edu/cfd today.
Giving Made Easy
The Community Fund Drive is unique because you can give a small gift from each paycheck or a one-time gift. Donate online through the University, or use the forms that were recently sent to you in intercampus mail. Printable forms are also available here.
Prize drawings
When you donate, you're entered to win a prize in a weekly drawing. (There is also an option on the pledge form to enter the drawing if you are not making a pledge this year. Look for the box next to "I can't give financially but want to be entered into the prize drawing.")
