UNCF Birmingham Area Workplace Giving Campaign

Are you looking for a chance to make a difference? The UNCF Birmingham Area Office Workplace Giving Campaign provides the perfect opportunity to give a little to help a lot!

UNCF and its member schools continue to be at the forefront of the race to create the next generation of professionals who will help our children get the education they need, keep our nation competitive and secure our future.

Each year, thousands of people in corporate and government workplaces contribute countless amounts of dollars to support the historic UNCF mission. So many students in the Birmingham Area were born with limitless potential, and we need your help to change the world, one degree at a time.

How to Support the 2014-2015 Workplace Campaign

UNCF offers three options for supporting UNCF students and schools at your place of employment. They are payroll deduction, matching gifts and leadership committees.

Payroll Contributions: Painless Philanthropy

Many employers will offer payroll deduction as a service to their employees. A gift made each pay period through payroll deduction is an easy way to provide all year support to students who need help to get to and through college. You can contribute whatever you can afford. Consider that a $1 to $3 donation each week helps a student with fees for a semester while a $50 donation each week will help a student with room and board for a year. Please give what you can.

Matching Gift Programs: Double Your Money

Many organizations support a matching gifts program that enables their employees to double or triple their gifts to UNCF. Your gift to the UNCF can be matched by an equal or larger gift from your company. It is a real win-win for you, your employer and UNCF's students and schools. To help UNCF receive a match to your gift, contact your Human Resources Office to get your matching gift form or to learn if your company does online approvals. Help us help our talented students.

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 fundraising and volunteer goals chosen by the The United Way, Combined Federal Campaign also provides opportunities for you to participate and support the UNCF mission. To join or start a Workplace Leadership Committee at your company please contact the UNCF Birmingham Area Director.

For more information on how you, your company or organization can support this effort, include UNCF in your 2014-2015 budget, or send a gift, PLEASE CALL 205.322.8623.
