Begun in 1976 as the State Employees Federated Appeal (SEFA), it provides the means for all employees of the university to make a meaningful contribution to the university’s commitment to service. The Campaign reflects UB’s engagement with its communities and the neighbors whom we live with and serve.
The campaign is held each fall and UB consistently ranks among the top colleges and universities nationwide in charitable giving. With more than 600 health, human services, educational, environmental and cultural organizations available for UB donors to choose from, over 80% of the money raised by UB employees is designated to stay right here in the Buffalo Niagara region. These donations positively affect tens of thousands of our fellow citizens by providing programs and services that align closely with UB’s priorities for community impact in the areas of pre-K-16 education, health and wellness, neighborhoods, and economic development.
