About the UAF United Way campaign
The UAF United Way Workplace Campaign has begun! United Way of the Tanana Valley and its 17 partner agencies have served our community for 66 years! For nearly 50 years the University of Alaska Fairbanks has held a campaign to support the incredible local organizations who bring vital services to the Golden Heart Community. Please consider supporting the nonprofits who contribute so much to UAF students, faculty and staff.
Give to United Way: Being community-minded has its benefits
You may not know that in the past two years, United Way partner agencies provided 78,425 shelter nights, served 208,492 meals, and connected 8,312 community volunteers with meaningful volunteer opportunities. If we give to United Way we are giving back and helping our neighbors. And, by donating through our seamless payroll deduction platform, you may not even notice giving $10, $15, or $20 per paycheck. Read more about the United Way and how it has helped a UAF family during a time of need.

The theme of the 2022 campaign was “Be the Bridge.” Sometimes people just need a hand up to cross that bridge from an unstable home to a safe one, or from alcohol misuse to freedom, or from loneliness to friendship and the list goes on. United Way of the Tanana Valley supports 17 partner agencies through the Community Care Fund. These agencies help our friends and neighbors when times get tough.
For 2022 our goal was $40,000. This seems like a lofty goal, but it isn’t when you consider how United Way helped UAF right at the beginning of COVID. United Way gave $25,000 to the university to help displaced students with unexpected expenses as they left their dorms and moved to online classes for the spring semester because of the pandemic. Amazing!
