Workplace Based Philanthropy  

Each year, thousands of people in hundreds of corporate and government workplaces around the country contribute millions of dollars to support the historic UNCF mission. We need your help to change the world, one degree at a time.

UNCF offers three options for supporting UNCF young people, students and schools at your place of employment:

• Workplace Leadership Committees: People Changing the World One Degree At a Time

In a growing number of corporations, employees are coming together and creating their own programs to support the historic UNCF mission. These programs are designed by the Workplace Leadership Committees to support outcomes chosen by the committee members. Participation includes volunteer support and support for fund raising activities that support the program created by the committee members. To join or start a Workplace Leadership Committee at your company contact UNCF Workplace Giving.

• Matching Gift Programs: Double Your Money

Most large national companies support a matching gifts program that enables their employees to double or triple their gifts to UNCF. Your gift to the United Negro College Fund will be matched by an equal or larger gift from your company. It is a real win-win-win for you, your employer and UNCF's students and schools. To take advantage of this program contact your Human Resource Office or contact UNCF Workplace Giving.  You may also learn more about UNCF's matching gifts program online.

• Payroll Contributions: Painless Philanthropy

Many employers offer payroll contributions as an employee benefit. A gift of $5 or $50 directly through payroll contribution AT&T Employee Initiatives can enable you to make a much more generous gift than you might have thought possible. The United Way, Combined Federal Campaign and internal Corporate Campaigns provide opportunities for you to participate. A payroll contribution gift of just $25 per week qualifies you for membership in the "A Mind Is ..." Giving Society. For more information contact UNCF Workplace Giving. Please act now - our students need your help.
