First Week to Give: Get a Coffee on Us!

Pink and Brown Playful Coffee Shop Promotional FlyerGet ready to kick off the 2026 UW Combined Fund Drive with a little caffeine boost. From October 13 through October 20, any donor who does one of the following through the CFD will score a $5 Starbucks gift card, courtesy of WSECU:

It’s a simple way to say thank you for showing up for your community. Whether you’re a first-time donor or a longtime supporter bumping up your gift, your generosity fuels the causes you care about, and it earns you a little something in return.

A few things to know:

  • New and increased monthly donations must be $5 or more per month
  • New and increased one-time donations must be $5 or more for one pay period
  • Checks to UWCFD are also accepted. Mail checks with a giving form to UWCFD, Box 359200
  • Limit one gift card per donor
  • Gift cards will be sent to donors after the promotion

Ready to give? Visit uw.edu/uwcfd and make your gift between October 13 and October 20 to claim your coffee card.

Your gift makes a difference, one cup at a time.
