Staff and faculty at York University have already raised an impressive $76,461 for this year’s York Cares United Way Campaign. However, more support is needed to achieve the University's goal of $150,000, which will help fund local organizations through the United Way Greater Toronto.
As a community of changemakers, York University is dedicated to creating positive change for our students, colleagues and the wider community. Individual contributions can make a significant impact – every dollar counts.
How to help
A personalized link to the pledge form will be sent out today.
- Payroll donations can be made until Dec. 4.
- Credit card donations will be accepted until Dec. 31, contributing to this year’s campaign total.
Every donation makes a difference
Your support will:
- help people meet essential needs through mental health supports, food security initiatives, employment programs and housing assistance;
- help create economic opportunities in neighbourhoods most affected by the pandemic, advocating for emergency paid leave and affordable housing; and
- help strengthen the infrastructure of agencies serving marginalized communities, particularly Indigenous- and Black-led organizations, to challenge and change systems of bias and discrimination.
Join the University in supporting this vital cause and making a tangible difference in the community. Together, we can create a better future for all.
