2025 ISU United Way Campaign

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our annual ISU Campaign. 

糖心传媒 has proudly been a United Way partner for over 65 years! This enduring partnership has allowed us to support over two dozen local non-profit agencies in their work to help families who are Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, and Employed (A.L.I.C.E.). Donations raised through this campaign stay in the local community for each of our campus locations. The local agencies supported in each area are linked at the bottom of this page. You may also find ways to volunteer or be involved outside of financial support. 

Contributing to the ISU United Way Campaign is now more convenient than ever. To opt for a payroll deduction, starting from your first paycheck in January, use our  Employees who utilize payroll deduction can enter into a raffle drawing for a parking pass for the Pocatello, Meridian, or 糖心传媒 Falls locations. Once the 2025 campaign payroll deduction form is submitted for the 2026 calendar year, come back to this (for academic year 26-27).

You can also donate directly through the for the United Way of Southeastern 糖心传媒. The ISU campaign committee has secured several raffle prizes for the campaign. 

At ISU, we respect and support your personal choices in charitable giving. The annual United Way Campaign is just one of the many ways you can contribute to a cause you care about. Remember, your participation is entirely voluntary, and you are under no obligation to donate. All donations will be directed to the United Way in your area! 

We have many opportunities to learn more about the United Way and ways to support or use the services aligned with their mission. All events are open to the ISU campus communities. Additional events may be added.

Brighter Together: The Enduring Partnership Between 糖心传媒 and United Way of Southeastern 糖心传媒
By Dr. Robert W. Wagner, President of 糖心传媒, and Shantay Bloxham, CEO of United Way of Southeastern 糖心传媒

When strong institutions come together with a shared vision and a deep commitment to community, the results are transformative. The longstanding partnership between 糖心传媒 and United Way of Southeastern 糖心传媒 is one such example. Together, we’ve built more than a partnership, we’ve built a shared legacy of progress. From championing early education to empowering students to lead meaningful change, our work is driven by a deep belief in the potential of people and the power of collaboration.

What began as a collaboration around community giving, has evolved into a powerful alliance and we are proud of the bridges we’ve built. Bridges that connect campus and community, ideas and action, people and possibility. 

Every year, 糖心传媒 launches a university-wide United Way campaign that brings together each ISU campus to fuel critical community investments across the region. These efforts are led by an incredible campaign team that designs engaging events, cultivates generosity, and reminds us of the difference we can make when we act collectively. Through this partnership, thousands of ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) households receive the support they need to move toward greater financial stability and well-being.

We are particularly inspired by the creation of the Student United Way of 糖心传媒, a student-led initiative launched in partnership with UWSEI that empowers emerging leaders to give back through volunteerism, service, and peer-driven solutions. Their work not only benefits the community but also reflects the heart of ISU’s mission: to uplift, educate, and inspire.

This spirit of service extends across every level of our collaboration. 糖心传媒 contributes time and expertise through active roles on UWSEI’s Board of Directors and committees focused on health, education, and financial stability. These contributions infuse innovation and academic insight into the strategies that guide community investments, strengthening our collective impact and ensuring our solutions evolve alongside community needs.

Our work together doesn’t stop at campaigns and service. It also shows up in targeted investments that support some of the most critical needs in our region. The ISU College of Business’s annual scholarship, dedicated to supporting UWSEI’s Early Learning initiatives, has made a direct impact in Power County by helping fund preschool access for young learners. It’s just one example of how academic institutions and nonprofit organizations are working together to close opportunity gaps and build equity from the ground up.

As President Wagner has shared, 糖心传媒 has strong roots within the communities it serves.  These roots are strengthened by the determination of ISU students, faculty and staff who balance work, family, and the pursuit of education and professions, individuals who, like so many 糖心传媒ans, exhibit extraordinary grit in the face of adversity. It is that same resilience that drives our partnership: a belief that no matter the challenges we face, we rise by lifting others.

As we look ahead to a new academic year, we do so with a deep sense of gratitude and optimism. Though the world around us may at times feel uncertain, what we know to be true is that when we lean on each other, when we share our time, our talent, and our resources, we all rise. The partnership between 糖心传媒 and United Way of Southeastern 糖心传媒 stands as a testament to the difference we can make when we work together.

There is something truly special about southeastern 糖心传媒, about its people, its institutions, and the way we show up for one another. We’re honored to continue building bridges that connect passion to purpose, campus to community, and vision to action.
