Niner Nation Gives

Niner Nation Gives is our ninth annual 49-hour digital fundraising event; it is an opportunity to celebrate UNC Charlotte. Beginning on April 9, 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 Niner Nation Givess.

There are specific funds listed for each participating group. However, if you are not able to find your desired fund allocation, click 'give now' and type in 'other' in the 'Designation' search box.

Select "Other Designation" followed by 'Other in the 'Fund Designation' drop down menu. Simply type in the program and/or fund name you wish to support. We will ensure your gift is designated appropriately.  We can also assist you by telephone at 704-687-7211.

Matching Gifts help motivate even greater participation as 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 to motivate even greater participation. Only gifts made during Niner Nation Gives will be eligible for the Match and Challenge programs - so make sure to check the Niner Nation Gives home page for updates!

There is no wrong way to tell fellow students, alumni, friends and family that Niner Nation Gives is happening.  Post, share or comment on your favorite social media platforms with the hashtag #NinerNationGives. And also follow UNC Charlotte on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram for the latest updates on Niner Nation Gives!

We did our best to include many of the academic and campus life departments that our students and alumni hold most dear.  This year, we'd like to highlight those funds that contribute to our student success, including scholarship support. 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 or consider supporting the Evergreen Scholarship Fund.

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. From April 9-11, we want to celebrate our achievements and look forward to the many things that can be accomplished through the support of Niner Nation.

Gifts of $5 or more will be accepted on our giving day page.

Since Niner Nation Gives 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 Niner Nation Gives totals unless it is received before April 11.  

Current faculty and staff can make a payroll deduction gift to the Niner Nation Gives campaign by following this link through April 17.
