Campus Campaign is ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½βs annual employee fundraising appeal. The 2024 campaign begins on March 25 and will conclude April 30. ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ employees have a special opportunity to invest in the future of students.
With the campaign set in motion, employees can give in a variety of ways. All types and sizes of gifts make a difference in helping students and ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ flourish. The Office of University Advancement is always happy to answer any questions. You may reach the Ethan Zambrano, Director of Annual Giving, at 405-208-5118 and [email protected] or University Advancement at 405-208-7000 and [email protected].
Each year, there are many ways to participate in the Campus Campaign:
Campus Campaign Frequently Asked Questions
In addition to your daily contributions of energy and effort, a financial contribution is a different and important way to demonstrate your investment in ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ City University and its students.
As faculty and staff members, we have the privilege of working closely with our Stars. Campus Campaign gives us the opportunity to show that we believe in our studentsβ potential. As you may know, ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ does not receive government support, and tuition does not cover the entire cost to educate a student. Private gifts help make up the difference.
A high faculty and staff giving percentage is an endorsement by employees that the university is a worthy place to work for and deserving of their financial investment. It is an invaluable signal to other potential donors. Faculty and staff participation also plays a pivotal role in securing grant funding and improving the university's overall reputation!
Employees are encouraged to give unrestricted to the ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ Fund. Unrestricted funding allows the university to be adaptive, to meet unexpected challenges, and to take advantage of new opportunities. A large portion of the ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ Fund enhances our budget by providing institutional scholarships to qualified students β awarding them a lower cost to attend ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½.
The ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ Fund is also used to repair facilities, provide special opportunities such as master ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ for students and cover other unexpected expenses that canβt be budgeted a year in advance. President Evans is investing more in educational technology and employee retention.

Payroll deduction for 2024 Campus Campaign pledges will begin when you submit the form. You might be currently paying on your pledge for last year, but that does not count as participating in this year's campaign. We hope you will make a new pledge for the upcoming year. Many ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ employees choose to give continuously so their pledge is automatically renewed each year.
The time period of your pledge is up to you. For example, if you are paid bi-weekly and want to make a gift of $120. You could give $5 per pay period for one year, or $10 per pay period for 6 months or $60 per pay period for one month, etc.
Because of the staff time involved in processing payroll gifts, we ask that they are a minimum of $60 per year.
Please note that even in months that have three bi-weekly pay periods, your gift will only be deducted twice, so the maximum deductions are 24 per fiscal year (not 26).
You can update or stop your payroll deductions at any time by contacting University Advancement at 405-208-7000 or [email protected].
Matching gifts can double or even triple your gift! Visit this page to see if your spouse's/partner's company matches.
Yes. ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ is recognized as a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. If you give online, you will receive an email confirmation for tax purposes. Donors who mail a contribution with a check, cash or credit card information will receive a receipt within a few business days.

Your participation is shared with volunteer Campus Campaign Champion so that we can celebrate when your department reaches your participation goal. However, we do not provide information about the amount or designation of your gift.
Each gift β no matter how big or how small β is important because it increases our participation rate. Whatever amount, your gift shows that you believe in the fund you have chosen to support. There are many funds that receive a large number of βsmallβ gifts, and those really add up!
