WAYS TO GIVE

We invite you to join us in making our community stronger, healthier, and more compassionate by donating your financial gift this year to the United Way of Central Oklahoma’s Annual Campaign. Your gift will offer unlimited hope to thousands of Oklahomans.

OSU-OKC allows faculty and staff members to participate in the annual United Way campaign through payroll deduction and fundraisers held on campus. By participating in OSU and United Way's annual campaign, you are making a collective impact on our community.

Employees have many options to give or pledge to United Way, including: payroll deduction, bill me, bank draft, credit card, check or cash. Employees can enter payroll deductions, bill me or bank draft on Banner self-service at my.okstate.edu or at the link below. Employees do not turn in pledge cards for payroll deductions, bill me or bank draft. Amounts are deducted from the first paycheck of the month for bi-weekly employees and on the month-end payroll for monthly employees.
