Donations from Carolina alumni, family, and friends allow the Institute to grow and enhance various environmental programs that benefit students and citizens worldwide. Your donations are immediately used to help fund programs that don’t have another immediate funding source, which is what makes donations to the Institute’s annual fund so important.
