Faculty and Staff Giving

Faculty and Staff Giving: Sending A Powerful Message

November 27, 2019

Each year some 8,000 donors — including more than 300 staff and faculty members — give financially to support UP students and programs. Gifts from faculty and staff, totaling more than $100,000 annually, send a powerful message to alumni, businesses, foundations, and friends of the University, that those closest to UP believe in this community and choose to support it beyond giving of their time and talent.

When you give to UP, you can designate your gift to an area that you are passionate about, including scholarships, a particular school or program, Campus Ministry, athletics programs, and more.

One of the easiest ways to give is through a payroll deduction. To sign up for or renew a payroll deduction gift, please use this link. For more information about giving opportunities, visit the Giving UP page here.

New Faculty/Staff Giving Record

November 27, 2013

Congratulations are in order for UP faculty and staff, who set a new Faculty and Staff Campaign giving record of 68.4 percent participation in the recently completed 2013 campaign. That means more than 469 employees participated, a significant change from 170 participants in 2010. Congratulations (and delicious Bon Appetit spice cakes) to Laurie Dizney, biology; Larry Casian, men’s baseball; and Barbara Hughes, mailing services, for tying and then breaking the record for most employee donors in one week. Faculty and staff are welcome to make gifts to the University at any time, but are only solicited during the annual campaign. Congratulations again, and look for more fun prizes and incentives next year in October. For more information contact Diane Dickey, development, at 8130 or dickey@up.edu.
