Every gift to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro — no matter how large or small — is important. Many small gifts, when combined, can provide a scholarship, support a program, renovate a classroom, or build a building. Support for UNCG is not only about raising dollars for the University; it is also to celebrate and raise awareness of the accomplishments and contributions of alumni and friends in North Carolina, across the country, and the world. You are a vital part of the UNCG community.
In recent years the University of North Carolina at Greensboro has experienced a decrease in the amount of annual funding provided by the state. As a result, the most immediate goals of the university - increasing need- and merit-based scholarships, recruiting and retaining top faculty, and funding graduate student fellowships - simply cannot be achieved without private gift support. Alumni and friends are UNCG's most important advocates. Your first-hand experiences give you a unique authority each time you share the message of the remarkable qualities of your alma mater. And it's only getting better. Our students and faculty are scholars worthy of your investments, and a gift of any size truly makes a difference.

Why is alumni participation so important? Giving by alumni helps ensure the continued excellence of the UNCG experience. Plus, participation indicates alumni satisfaction and sends a message to the world about the quality of the UNCG degree and our alumni success. A charitable gift is an ongoing "vote of support" for UNCG and the value of your degree. Alumni participation impacts:
