Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Employee Giving Program the same thing as the United Way Campaign?
While UPMC Central Pa. does run a United Way campaign each fall, this is a separate program. Our employee giving program allows employees to extend the compassionate care they’re already providing to patients with a gift to the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation. Because this is an internal program, employees can enroll in payroll deduction at any time of year.
I don’t want to enroll in payroll deduction but I do want to make a one-time gift to the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation. Is that possible?
Yes! You can make a one-time gift at any time by visiting www.upmcpinnaclefoundation.org or mailing a check to the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation at PO Box 8700, Harrisburg, PA 17105.
I want to enroll in payroll deduction but I lost the form from my welcome packet. Where can I get another one?
All employee giving resources can be found online HERE.
Are there any fees associated with my payroll deduction gift to the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation? 
No, there are no processing fees associated with your gift through our employee giving program. 100% of your donation goes towards supporting UPMC Central Pa, our patients, and our community.
Can I give to more than one UPMC Pinnacle Foundation fund?
The UPMC Pinnacle Foundation has funds supporting many different programs and initiatives within UPMC Central Pa., and you can choose to split your gift between the ones you’re passionate about. Simply indicate the dollar amount or percentage you would like to give to each fund on your giving form.
Can I make a gift of PTO?
If you would like to make a gift of PTO to the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation, please be sure to do so during our United Way workplace giving campaign in the fall.
I want to change the amount of my payroll deduction or stop my deduction entirely. How can I do that?
