Over the 49 hours of Niner Nation Gives, you showed up For the Love of Charlotte. 


Thank you for joining thousands of Niners in supporting everything that makes UNC Charlotte special. Because of you, current and future students will have greater access to scholarships, research opportunities and life-changing experiences.


Together, we raised more than $4.9 million from 6,500+ gifts—and the impact is just beginning.


Your generosity proves that every gift matters, every voice counts and when we come together, we shape the future of Charlotte.


Thank you for being part of UNC Charlotte's 10th annual Niner Nation Gives. We are excited to share the final numbers and a campaign recap with you soon!
