Power of Us Spring Employee Giving Program

Through the Upstate Foundation and its Power of Us spring annual employee giving program, your gift can bring the Upstate mission to life and help fund patient care, education and research, which positively impacts community health and well-being. 

2025 new match opportunity

Your impact can be even greater! The Upstate Foundation is providing $5,000 in matching gift funds to Power of Us donors. Your gift will be matched up to $1,000 until we reach the $5,000 total.
