About Anchors of Support: Supporting the People who Support Privateers
At the University of New Orleans, we believe that student success is built on a foundation of care, support, and opportunity. But that foundation relies on more than just resources—it depends on the dedicated individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to create an environment where our students can thrive.
Anchors of Support is a campaign to empower the people who make UNO a home for our students—our incredible staff, faculty, and supporters. With critical funding cuts affecting key areas of student affairs, we’re turning to our community to help us fill the gap.
This campaign is designed to ensure that our staff members have the tools they need to provide high-quality services, professional development, and a supportive environment for students. From essential software and supplies to retreat meals and workshops that foster connection and growth, every donation directly strengthens the heart of UNO—our people.
Together, we can ensure that the anchors of support for our students remain steadfast and strong, guiding them toward a brighter future. Whether it’s a small gesture or a larger contribution, your support makes an immeasurable difference.
Thank you for helping us provide the resources and support that our staff and students need to succeed!
Thanks to your amazing generosity, Anchors of Support has passed the $2K mark—that means more real-world impact than ever. To put it in perspective:
What $2,000 buys us:
- 800 reams of copy paper – that’s around 400,000 sheets printing retreat activities, leader workshops, signage, and more!
- OR 13 staff lunches –that’s 200+ shared meals fueling collaboration, morale, and connection.
- OR 2,000 snowballs –because who can survive August in New Orleans without them?
- OR 6,000 Hangers for the Sunken Jewel Thrift Swap – because yes, thrift events need hangers. Lots of hangers.
You’re literally powering the logistics of belonging—from the paper that prints a program that recruits the next leader, to the lunches that build our team’s camaraderie.
We’re already excited to see what we can do with these funds. But we’re not done yet. Every extra dollar helps us upgrade from “bare bones” to “beyond” — more connection, expansion, and a little extra sparkle.
Keep it going— please donate or share today!
