University of Nebraska–Lincoln employees have the chance to positively impact the lives of thousands through the 2025-26 Combined Campaign for Health and Human Services.
The annual United Way/Combined Health Agencies Drive of Nebraska campaign opened Oct. 31 and continues through mid-November. The drive benefits more than 145 local agencies that assist members of the community.
The drive theme is “Sowing Hope at Home.” A variety of giving options are available.
“This effort is about more than dollars — it’s about investing in the health, education and financial stability of our neighbors,” said Dee Dee Anderson, vice chancellor for student life. “Your gift, no matter the amount, plays a vital role in uplifting lives across our state.”
The university-wide participation goal is 25%. Participation in the 2024-25 campaign was 20.8%.
To help generate enthusiasm toward the fundraising campaign, the university will track participation across campus offices and units. Participation will be divided in two divisions — small office (less than 200 employees) and large office (more than 200 employees). The leaderboards, which will be updated regularly, are available here.
Pledge forms and additional details are available on the university’s Combined Campaign website. The site includes promotional assets and a list of frequently asked questions.
