How to Pledge through Self Serve
Continuous giving maintains your gift until you opt out. Any donor who uses payroll deduction over 26 pay periods is enrolled. As your pledge rolls forward in the new campaign year, the amount and designation remain the same as the prior year. You decide if you want to increase it to be eligible for the Step-Up challenge or change your pledge in any other way.
Step 1: Select payment option
Select payment option – choose payroll deduction or credit card.
Step 2: Enter pledge amount
This is the total amount you are pledging for the year. Your weekly amount will automatically populate or you can enter your weekly deduction and the total will automatically populate. *Note: If you are a first-time donor or you increase your annual donation by $52, you automatically qualify for the United Way Step Up Challenge (You will be eligible for $3,000 grand prizes and many other prizes.)
Steps 3-5: Answer questions
Answer questions about donor recognition, combining your gift with a spouse, and the anonymous gift option. You will be asked like to become part of the United Way’s Emerging Leaders or Women United programs. Hit “NEXT”
