UW Combined Fund Drive

April 8, 2026

Thank you for making the 2025 UWCFD Campaign a success!

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in this year’s workplace giving campaign. Together, we raised $1,796,139, including nearly $26,000 for our featured nonprofit, WestSide Baby (WSB) and welcomed 400+ new donors!

Your generosity didn’t stop there. Departments hosted diaper drives that collected more than 3,000 diapers. We filled the minivan three times to deliver them to WSB. That’s a lot of work and every bit of it made a difference.

On behalf of the families you’ve helped and the children you’ve kept safe, warm and dry: THANK YOU! Your support will help provide more than 100,000 diapers to families in need. UW employees truly are the best.

Beyond giving: Volunteering in action

This campaign wasn’t just about donations, it was also about rolling up our sleeves and giving our time. In November, about 20 members of the UW Human Resources team volunteered at the WestSide Baby warehouse in White Center. We packaged diapers, sorted incoming donations and assembled bags of essentials for families.

It was a fantastic way to connect as a team while doing good in the community. Volunteering as a team-building activity? Win-win.

A special thank you

This year’s success wouldn’t have been possible without our campaign coordinators, who spread the word in departments and units and our campaign staff, who kept the momentum going. And of course, YOU! Thank you for sharing your time, talent and treasure. Your efforts made a difference locally, nationally and globally.

It’s not too late to give!

While the campaign has ended, you can give through the UW Combined Fund Drive year-round. Support your favorite nonprofit, or discover a new one by setting up a payroll deduction.

Looking for more ways to get involved? Consider becoming a campaign coordinator or joining the Events Committee. Both roles help keep the campaign strong and successful.

With your support, we’re making a positive impact in the world around us. Thank you from the UW Combined Fund Drive and from all the people your generosity has touched. Your gifts truly make a difference.
