Faculty & Staff United Way Campaign

The Bradley University family has always been willing to give back to the community and to go a step above to make it a better place. We have supported the Heart of Illinois United Way’s annual giving campaign for many years because we believe in creating a strong and healthy community. We hope you will do the same again during this trying year.

We hope you will help by making a contribution to the United Way – your donation, small or large, will help people and their families in the central Illinois community.

You’ll see several payment options when you make your online contribution. You may also download and print a copy of the Contributor Form.

Did you know?

The United Way focuses on three main areas:

  • Education — Quality education helps youth and adults succeed.
  • Financial Stability — Financial stability promotes independence.
  • Health — Access to healthcare promotes wellness at all ages.

There are nearly 90 funded programs and initiatives in 40 United Way partner agencies this year. If you or your coworkers need to direct your United Way donation towards a specific partner agency, click here for a list of agency designation codes.

The HOIUW utilizes the community needs assessment and a thorough allocation process to make sure your investment makes the most significant impact.

Your donation funds programs and services in Marshall, Peoria, Putnam, Stark, Tazewell and Woodford Counties and positively impact more than 100,000 people in central Illinois each year. That is 1-in-3 people in Central Illinois being helped by Heart of Illinois United Way funded programs and initiatives.

You may direct your gift to specific agencies or exclude those you do not wish to support. You can give in confidence knowing that all of our donations will improve lives in Central Illinois.
