Annual United Way campaign underway
Members of the Salve Regina community have always been generous in contributing their time and talents to those in need. In this time of giving, the University has embarked on its annual United Way campaign.
“Regional Catholic colleges and universities have a longstanding tradition of supporting the United Way through employee giving campaigns,” said President Kelli J. Armstrong. “As an umbrella organization, contributions to the United Way help support multiple agencies and programs in our hometown communities, such as the Boys and Girls Club of Newport County, Clean Ocean Access, the Salvation Army and Salve Regina. It does not surprise me that our community members are active in supporting this effort in addition to so many others.”
Gifts may be designated by choosing specific United Way impact funds and/or focus areas. Donors can also search or use the write-in area to designate your pledges (or a portion) to a specific agency. Undesignated gifts will go to the United Way Community Impact Fund.
