2018 ISU United Way Campaign November 1 - 30
Goal $55,000!
Last year the ISU United Way Campaign donated $52,899.13 to assist the communities of Southeastern Idaho, Treasure Valley and Idaho Falls & Bonneville County! Because of the amazing generosity of ISU faculty and staff, this money went to support those less fortunate in our neighborhoods. The current economic climate, recent layoffs and ongoing needs for the citizens of Idaho makes this year's campaign very important. ISU is the largest single donor, without company match, in the Southeastern Idaho United Way. Thanks for your incredible support of the ISU United Way Campaign!
***Because of corporate sponsorships 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to the area programs the United Way supports or you can designate your funds to any 501(C)3 organization on the donation form.
***If you wish to give to an ISU department, on your donation form under the Tax-Exempt Charitable Organization section, write ISU Foundation - then the specific department you wish to support. For example: ISU Foundation - ISU Meridian Scholarship Fund, ISU Veteran's Sanctuary or ISU Benny's Pantry.
