Donor Impact

The impact of our generous donors shines through in the stories of our students, alumni, and campus community. Your support makes dreams possible, opens doors, creates opportunities, and changes lives, not only for the students who benefit directly but also for the families and communities they go on to serve.

Philanthropy at UNC fuels discovery, connection, and progress. It helps students uncover solutions to real-world challenges, pursue their passions, and reach their full potential.

Here, we share stories that reflect the power of giving at UNC and the difference donors make every day. Each story is a reminder that when you give, you are part of something bigger, a tradition of generosity that strengthens the Bear community for generations to come.

Giving Societies

Giving societies recognize donors who lead our university with significant, sustained and transformative gifts. Donors giving at all levels can become a part of our societies, offering access to university news, events and opportunities for involvement.
