GiveUNC is Carolina’s university-wide day of giving—a day when alumni, friends, faculty/staff and other Carolina supporters come together to support the causes they care about most. Unlike any other day, challenges and matches offered throughout GiveUNC maximize the impact of your gift. Your gift on GiveUNC, along with the collective support of others, can unlock vital dollars for the area of your choice, or can be matched dollar-for-dollar through a challenge match. Invest in the causes you care about most and see the collective impact Tar Heels across the globe can make in just 24 hours on GiveUNC.
When it comes to putting your charitable dollars to work, we know you have a lot of choices. Unlike most other non-profit organizations, you don’t have to pick one cause or area to support when you give through the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. You can make an impact on advances in health care, solutions to the world’s most important societal issues, innovative research across multiple disciplines, or hundreds of other funds at Carolina. Your gift goes directly to the area of your choice and provides critical support for talented Tar Heels on campus and across the globe.
Gifts must be at least $5 to be processed via our online platform. You can, of course, give multiple times across multiple areas—and these gifts will all count individually for those areas, helping their standing in GiveUNC leaderboards and getting them closer to reaching important challenges and matches offered during the day.
Yes! The power of GiveUNC is in the collective impact Tar Heels across the world can make in just one day.

With over a hundred causes on campus to support on GiveUNC, there is no limit to the impact you and others can make with your gift, no matter the size. Additionally, your gift at any amount can also unlock vital challenge and match dollars for the area of your choice, multiplying the impact of your gift.
