Make your pledge to United Way

Whether you choose to pledge one dollar a week or 1,000 dollars a month, your gift to United Way makes a big difference.

The Indiana University community is responsible for more than 60% of the donations our local United Way receives each year.

It’s thanks to people like you that United Way of Monroe County has enough funds to keep its 24 member agencies thriving. That one in three Monroe County community members get help when they need it. And that kids of every age have access to the services and programs that help them thrive.

Choose the direction your gift takes

When you pledge to give to the campus United Way campaign, you can choose how you want your funds to be distributed.

Give to the Community Action Fund

When you choose to give to the Community Action Fund, your money goes into a larger pool of funds that we invest in high-quality, results-oriented programs managed by United Way’s member agencies. While you won’t know which organizations are benefitting from your gift, you can rest assured that it is being put to work where it can do the most good.

Specify which agency should receive your gift

We also offer a donor choice program, which allows you to direct all or part of your gift to a specific agency—even if it isn’t a United Way member agency. The only stipulation is that your gift must be at least $25 to offset processing costs.
