Your Impact
Thank you for making a difference at UNC
The impact of philanthropic investment is felt immediately in the construction of Campus Commons and long-term in the endowments to fund scholarships, faculty and research.
Without the UNC donor community, students and faculty could not realize the full potential and value of the UNC educational experience. Thank you for sharing our vision through your generosity.
