Over the last 40 years, the University of Miami has supported the United Way—a tangible demonstration of our commitment to our community and mission to strengthen local quality of life. This year, the 2019 TeamUM campaign closes on Oct. 31, so there’s no better time than now to make an impact. Looking for ways to get involved? We’re sharing our top picks for faculty and staff to be a part of this year’s campaign.
Support a fundraising event, or start your own
United Way ambassadors are faculty and staff volunteers who represent divisions and departments across the University. Throughout the campaign they host events and fundraising opportunities with proceeds benefiting TeamUM’s 2019 goal. Reach out to your ambassador to learn more about fundraising events or how to host a fundraiser of your own.
Donate to a cause you’re passionate about
When making your gift you may direct your contribution to the United Way’s mission of education, financial resiliency, and health, or direct your gift to a local non-profit organization, including the University of Miami. Have a local non-profit in mind? Check the drop-down menu on the giving page to see if it is listed or have it added. Make your gift today.
One percent support
Faculty and staff who contribute one percent of their annual salary may be eligible for additional benefits when supporting the United Way at the leadership level. Access for you and a guest to a VIP lounge during Alumni Weekend and Homecoming and a post-campaign reception with President Frenk are among the perks.
