Welcome to Arkansas State University!

Leading the Pack by Giving Back

Arkansas State is fortunate to be located in a very giving community that takes care of its friends and neighbors.

You Live Here.    Please Give Here.   It Stays Here.

Each year, United Way of Northeast Arkansas joins forces with Arkansas State University and our community to raise funds for our neighbors through our Annual United Way Campaign. The dollars raised support United Way's in-house programs and nearly 20 nonprofit agencies annually in our community that provide services for healthcare, emergency shelter, getting back to work programs, food distributions, underserved youth school programs, and much more.

By making a contribution to United Way of Northeast Arkansas, you are directly supporting not only our local community, but students, faculty and staff right here on our campus. We are proud to share with you United Way has partnered with the A-State Food Pantry to provide funding for a new online platform to allow the pantry to better serve the A-State community. We are excited to continue to make an impact on campus in 2024 through not only the food pantry, but through our A-State United Way student-led group on campus as well! Together, we can make a difference by Living United! 

Through making your annual pledge to United Way, you can be part of helping to build a strong and equitable Northeast Arkansas community where everyone can thrive in the areas of health, education, financial stability, and basic needs. Don't forget you can select "Give Through Payroll Deduction" to donate small amounts each pay period that will add up over time. If you are already a donor to United Way through payroll deduction, your donation will continue unless you decide to raise your donation amount.

We Live United! Will you join us?


Give United, Live United
