2026 Annual United Way Campaign

Choose How You Want to Make a Difference

When designating your gift to help our neighbors in need, you have options. You can choose to donate to the general United Way fund, to a specific United Way program, to any 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of your choice, to eligible Johns Hopkins departments and programs, or any combination of these options.

Previous donors: please be aware that beginning in the 2025 campaign your payroll donation will automatically renew and, if you have any designations, they will continue in the same manner as the previous year unless you make changes. Please note: Contributions made via credit card will not roll over and must be renewed manually.
