Our people

Fostering our champions

Whether you attended an event, made a one-time donation, or make ongoing gifts through payroll, every little bit counts. Your support makes an impact and helps support the community beyond Ring Road.

Our volunteers

The university’s campaign is fortunate to have a network of champions who work tirelessly every October to ensure the campaign’s success. We want to thank everyone who showed support throughout the campaign, and ask for their help in a different way.

Our area reps take the time to brainstorm, plan and execute imaginative fundraising events and we couldn’t do it without them.

The large group of United Way volunteers

Don’t have an area rep in your unit? Let us know if you’d like to volunteer. Units are welcome to have more than one area rep.

Our donors

Our generous campus community makes us proud to work at the University of Waterloo. There are countless stories behind gifts to the United Way, but whatever the reason, we’re thankful to work with caring colleagues.

Jay Mielke and his one year old daughterWe reached out to one donor to learn more about his reasons for giving.

With two young children, Jay Mielke has many personal expenses and responsibilities, but he continues to contribute to the University of Waterloo’s United Way campaign.

“I grew up in this area and feel lucky to be raising my family here. But I know that not everyone in the region always feels as lucky. I want to help build this community to be a great place where we support each other.”

Mielke, who works as a digital communications specialist on campus, has chosen the $10/month payroll deduction option for his donation. He says that using the automatic payroll deduction option is the easiest way for him to contribute financially. He also notes that these charitable donations are automatically included on your T4 so come tax time it is that much easier.

Jay donates directly to the United Way rather than picking individual organizations on his own because he appreciates that the United Way works closely with local organizations and has a good sense of where funds are needed.

“I want to show my son and daughter that as community members, we have a responsibility to help our neighbours. It’s important to me that they understand how to give back.”
