U&I Care Round Up Initiative
Small Change, Big Impact – Support UIC Students in Need by Rounding up your total whenever you make a purchase at participating UIC campus locations.
At the University of Illinois Chicago, we are committed to ensuring that students have the resources they need to succeed. The U&I Care Round Up Initiative is a simple yet powerful way for the UIC community to support fellow students in need.
By choosing to round up your purchase at participating campus dining and retail locations, you can contribute directly to a fund that helps students with urgent basic needs, such as food and housing insecurity.
How It Works?
- Shop at a participating location: All UIC dining halls and retail locations on campus are part of the initiative.
- Choose to round up: At checkout, simply agree to round your total to the nearest dollar. The difference is donated to the U&I Care Round Up fund.
- Make a difference: Your spare change provides essential assistance to students struggling with financial insecurity.
Why Support the U&I Care Round Up Initiative?
- It’s effortless: No extra steps, just a simple "yes" at checkout.
- Every cent helps: Even small contributions add up to meaningful support.
- Direct student impact: 100% of donations go toward assisting students with basic needs.
You can help this initiative by spreading the word by encouraging friends, faculty, and staff to participate. You can also make a direct donation to the U&I Care Fund if you’d like to give more. By saying "yes" to rounding up, you are playing a role in ensuring that UIC students have the support they need to focus on their education and future.
