The United Way and Community Shares campaigns support organizations that contribute to a stronger Cincinnati by harnessing the compassion and resources of our community. Together, with the support of all of us here at UC, we can help tackle the biggest challenges facing Greater Cincinnati and create lasting change in our community.

Whether you’re interested in childhood poverty, creating more job opportunities or a healthy environment, United Way and Community Shares are your connection to the solution. UC is fortunate to be one of the region’s largest employers, and an anchor in this region. Your donation can make a powerful impact by providing safety nets to our neighbors in need.

By pledging your support, you and your co-workers can help us reach our goal of $218,000, with 25 percent participation. There are many options for giving, including payroll deduction. You can choose the level of your contribution and select which agency or service you prefer to support. The best part, the money you give stays local and you can see the results in your own backyard.
