Additional Recognition
We believe it is important for our donors to have opportunities to become actively involved in our School community, to see our work firsthand, to meet our students and faculty, and to understand fully why their gifts mean so much to us.
Some of our leading donors have accepted opportunities to serve on our Board of Advisors, where they learn more about our programs and activities and have opportunities to share what they are learning with others who are interested in our School.
Occasionally, donors may receive invitations to special School events, which have included lectures, tours, salon programs, receptions, and other activities.
Donors may also receive personal messages of gratitude from members of our School community. We value every one of our donors and want you to understand how deeply we appreciate your involvement.
Thank You for Your Support
We recognize that, for our alumni and friends, giving to the School is a very personal and important part of their lives. We are grateful for every gift of every amount.
Our youngest donors may be just beginning new careers and may choose to skip a movie or a few trips to the coffee shop to make a $10 gift — we are grateful!
Our donors who are making career changes may be counting every penny and may choose instead to support the School by becoming our most vocal cheerleaders, sharing our news and opportunities with friends who may be in a position to become donors themselves — we are grateful!
Our senior donors may be unable to give regularly during retirement but may choose to make a planned gift from an estate — we are grateful!
Thank you for considering the many different ways that you can help support UNC School of Social Work, through your gifts and through other activities. We are grateful.
