Give
You can give to the United Way through a payroll pledge or a one-time donation.
Payroll Pledge
Magnify your impact and change lives, again and again.
A recurring payroll pledge makes an incredible impact on our community. Select an amount that works for you and it will be automatically donated from your paycheck. Even a small amount made regularly has a huge impact on our local community.
During the annual fall campaign, you will receive personalized emails from pledge@unitedway.ubc.ca with your unique link to make a payroll pledge. If you don’t have the link or need another one please email unitedway.ok@ubc.ca.
To make a payroll pledge outside of the annual campaign please submit a payroll ticket through the UBC Self Service Portal.
You will be sent a summary of your donations for tax purposes annually.
Here are a few examples of how your payroll pledge can make a difference:
