ALUMNI PARTICIPATION VITAL – Alumni who contribute to UNCW provide much more than
financial assistance. Each gift represents their confidence
in the university and its commitment to provide students with
the most powerful learning experience possible. Gifts to the
alumni association, a department, a scholarship or other worthy
program are about much more than the money. It’s about
your participation in the life of your alma mater. Your gift
– whether $1 or $1,000 or more – shows you care
about what happens at UNCW. Corporations and foundations
look at alumni giving percentages when evaluating grant requests,
and U.S.News and World Report factors the percentage
into its statistical formula when ranking universities. Make
a difference at UNCW. Give to an area that touches your heart
and reminds you of the wonderful experiences you had as a
student. Gifts received before June 30, 2006, will count
toward the university’s alumni giving rate for fiscal
year 2005-06. UNCW hopes to achieve at least a 13 percent
alumni giving rate for the year. To make a gift or fulfill
your pledge, please call 910.962.3751 or 866.468.6291 or download
a gift form.
