#NinerNationGives FY 18

#NinerNationGives is our third annual 49-hour digital fundraising event; it is an opportunity to celebrate UNC Charlotte. Beginning on September 27, our 49er family, both here in Charlotte and globally, can show their Niner pride by making a gift to their favorite college or unit at the University, wearing green, and spreading the word via social media using #NinerNationGives.

We did our best to include many of the academic and campus life departments that our students and alumni hold most dear.  We encourage you to view our participating areas on our main page and find your giving passion. If you don't see a specific fund you would like to support, please call the main Foundation phone line at 704-687-7211.

Matching Gifts help motivate even greater participation as such unrestricted gifts provide donors the opportunity to double the impact of their contribution to the fund of their choosing. Challenge Gifts are celebratory gifts leveraged when a certain number of donors are achieved in order to motivate even greater participation. Only gifts made during #NinerNationGives will be eligible for the Match and Challenge programs - so make sure to check the #NinerNationGives home page for updates!

We can accept any size gift starting from $1 on our giving day page.

There is no wrong way to communicate to fellow students, alumni, friends and family that #NinerNationGives is happening.  The best way to do this would be to participate online. Post, share or comment on your favorite social media platforms with the hashtag #NinerNationGives. You should also follow UNC Charlotte on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram for the latest updates on #NinerNationGives.

UNC Charlotte strives to offer internationally competitive programs of research and creative activity, exemplary undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, and a focused set of community engagement initiatives. On September 27 & 28, we want to celebrate our achievements and look forward to the many things that can be accomplished through the support of Niner Nation.

Since #NinerNationGives is only a 49- hour campaign, we encourage you to make your gift online. However, you can call (704) 687-7211 and make a gift over the phone. Making a gift by mail would still be a great way to support UNC Charlotte, but would not impact #NinerNationGives totals.
