UBC Okanagan United Way Campaign 2021
UBC Okanagan has partnered with the United Way British Columbia to make an impact in the lives of people in our community who struggle to build better lives for themselves and their families.

Executive, faculty, staff and students are encouraged to support the campaign, in the following ways:
Note: In the context of COVID-19 and current directives from the BC Health Authority, there will be limited in-person fundraising events for the 2021 campaign. The focus will be on digital communications and virtual events.
United Way British Columbia is UBC’s only Board approved charity. UBC Okanagan’s relationship with the United Way extends over 15 years, including the employee payroll contributions, events, Days of Caring, faculty research and student experiential projects.
