    Bears Give Back 2025

    UNC’s annual Bears Give Back campaign is just around the corner. This year, instead of a single day, Bears Give Back will be spread across three days, each with their own theme.

    Bears Give Back, UNC's annual fundraising campaign, looks a little different this year than it has in years past. Instead of a single day of giving, the campaign will be spread across three days, each with their own distinct theme and featured projects. 

    The themes for each day are as follows:

    • April 9 - Bear Necessities: featuring funds that help students with their basic needs while attending UNC.
    • April 10 - Career Readiness Day: featuring projects that promote career growth and student success beyond the classroom. On this day, there will be a matching gift challenge, in which every project featured that meets certain giving conditions will receive additional funds. 
    • April 11 - Student Success Day: featuring projects that encourage personal well-being and support academic success. This day will also feature Power Hour from 3-4 p.m. Any gift made to any fund at this time will be matched 2:1.  

    Despite these themes, donations can be made to any fund on any day! Team UNC 1:1 match will be applicable for any gift to any fund made by faculty and staff.
