Carolina Cares, Carolina Shares campaign is underway
State employees can donate to more than 750 approved charities, just in time for Giving Tuesday on Dec. 2.
This year’s Carolina Cares, Caroline Shares campaign kicked off Oct. 1, and if you haven’t donated yet, Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity to contribute and help the University reach its fundraising goal of $500,000 by the end of the year.
The annual fundraising effort is UNC-Chapel Hill’s initiative in support of the State Employees Combined Campaign, the only authorized fundraising effort permitted to solicit charitable donations in the state workplace. For more than four decades, Carolina Cares, Carolina Shares has empowered University employees to support thousands of charities to benefit communities across North Carolina.
This year employees can choose from more than 750 approved and vetted charities that help communities near campus, across the state and beyond.
Carolina employees can make a one-time or recurring gift through payroll deduction using ePledge. Employees who choose to donate through this preferred method only need their Onyen and Onyen password. Once signed into the platform, employees may select their charity designations and payment options. The ePledge method of giving serves as the employee’s personalized pledge form. Payroll deductions will begin Jan. 1, 2026.
Employees may also elect to pledge using cash, check or credit card through the online pledge form.
