Heel to Heel: The Faculty & Staff Giving Campaign

Let's start off the 2025-2026 academic year strong! Whether you’re a first-time employee donor or make recurring gifts, you can make an even bigger impact when you make a gift of any size by August 30. As a faculty/staff donor, you’ll receive this year’s specialty giving pin to add to your collection!

At UNC-Chapel Hill, we stand together—working collectively and giving back to support what matters most. Which is why we’re spreading the spirit through Heel to Heel: The Faculty and Staff Giving Campaign, where employees have the opportunity to make a lasting impact by giving to the areas of campus you're most passionate about. Whether you choose to support scholarships, your department, or student success, your gift of any size will make an impact.

When faculty and staff give, it shows our belief in the mission we live every day. Your gift—no matter the amount—helps expand access, enrich learning, and strengthen our Carolina community. Last year, employees gave over $315,000 in support at Carolina. Just imagine what we can do when even more of us step up together.

Every gift tells a story—of commitment, care, and Carolina pride. When we come together as a community of faculty and staff donors, we send a powerful message to our students, alumni, and peers: that we believe in the work being done here and in the people who make it possible. Your participation matters, and together, we can keep Carolina thriving for generations to come.

Can’t give during this campaign? Not to worry—you’ll still have the opportunity to receive your pin later in the 2025-2026 fiscal year.
