Learn more about this year's United Way Campaign

UBC’s annual United Way campaign is currently underway until December, providing an opportunity for the university community to come together and raise funds for a great cause.

As a member of the UBC community, you can help address critical issues affecting our neighbours by participating in the long-standing UBC tradition of supporting this great cause. Funds raised in our annual campaign support a range of programs that enhance community wellbeing, focusing on urgent response, children and youth, seniors, poverty, mental health, and food security. 

There are a number of ways you can get involved in this year’s campaign:

• Donate to United Way British Columbia and help support the development of healthy, caring and inclusive communities. Faculty and staff in Vancouver and the Okanagan can choose to donate by payroll contribution for 2026 or make a one-time gift.
• Join this year’s Coffee campaign. Vancouver faculty and staff who pledge $5 per pay (or a $120 one-time gift) by October 31 will be mailed a coffee card to use at participating UBC Food Services locations in the month of November.
• Check-out one of the United Way fundraising events at UBC Vancouver.
• Invite a community member who has received help through United Way funding to address your team meeting about the positive impact the organization is having in our community.
