Although UNCG is a public university, it is heavily dependent on private sources for scholarships, professorships, specialized equipment, and academic program enrichment. Gifts from alumni, friends, families, foundations, businesses, and corporations fill the gap, adding depth and excitement to the college experience.
Annual Giving direct mail and phonothon campaigns run every year from July 1 through June 30. Gifts may be made through one or more of the following methods:
Current gifts are ideal for the donor seeking to make an immediate impact. Unlike endowment gifts, which are permanently invested to generate annual income, current gifts are intended to be expended immediately.
Restricted gift campaigns managed through the Annual Giving Office provide strengthened financial resources in other areas of the university. These campaigns include:
University Gift Club memberships are assigned according to the donor's level of giving. The principal benefit of Gift Club membership is the satisfaction inherent in supporting UNCG's student and faculty programs. In appreciation of the importance of private support, members also receive added benefits.
In order for the University to benefit from a corporate matching gift program, you will need to fill out a matching gift form (obtained from your company's Human Resource Office) and send it with your gift or pledge form to UNCG. If you're not sure whether your company matches gifts to higher education, please check with your Human Resource Office. What an easy way to double the impact of your annual gift.
