About

Giving back to our community

Indiana University Bloomington is proud to be part of this community, and we believe it’s important to give back—to do our part to make sure the citizens of our community are happy, healthy, and thriving.

Supporting United Way of South Central Indiana is one way we do that. When you join our campaign by pledging to give through payroll deduction or by making a one-time gift, you to address today’s critical needs in Monroe, Brown, Greene, Lawrence, Orange, and Owen counties, and work to reduce those needs tomorrow.

98% of your gift remains in the community

23member organizations in Monroe County benefit

77cents of every dollar goes to programming

Why choose United Way for your annual giving?

Giving to United Way helps ensure that your hard-earned dollars are helping where they’re most needed—and making the biggest difference.

That’s because the Community Investment Committee carefully evaluates all the applications it receives from member agencies and uses the most recent community needs assessment to decide where funds can have the greatest impact.
