Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity. At UNC Charlotte, it’s our moment to show up for students when life takes an unexpected turn. Every backpack on campus carries a unique story - and when unforeseen challenges like food insecurity, sudden financial crisis, or emergency travel threaten a student's education, these donations step in to keep them on track to earning their degree. Your support provides immediate relief, essential resources, and community care, ensuring no student faces a crisis alone and every Niner can keep moving toward their future.

This Giving Tuesday, you don't have to choose which student needs to support. Your gift to Niner Student Care helps address them all. By bringing together support for the Jamil Niner Student Pantry, Student Emergency Fund, and other urgent student needs through the Dean of Students Office, your generosity helps ensure resources will reach the students who need them most, wherever the need is greatest.

There is no wrong way to share this year's Giving Tuesday campaign with fellow students, alumni, friends and family. Simply post, share or comment on your favorite social media platforms, directing people to givingtuesday.charlotte.edu and using #GivingTuesdayCLT

Be sure to tag The Jamil Niner Student Pantry on Facebook or Instagram.

Also tag Student Assistance and Support Services on Facebook or Instagram.

Since Giving Tuesday is a short 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 may not be counted in Giving Tuesday totals until after the campaign ends.

To mail a gift, please write "Giving Tuesday 2027" in the memo line of your check and send that to:
