We are Asheville’s university. We are the state’s premier public liberal arts and sciences university. We are home to the next generation of original minds.
During Give UNC Asheville, the community-wide 24-hour day of giving from noon April 20 through noon April 21, families, alumni, friends, students, faculty, and staff come together to support UNC Asheville and our students.
One of the best parts of Give UNC Asheville is how many ways there are to support our students. Whether you give to your favorite academic department, athletics team, or initiative, you ensure we can provide our students with the resources they need to succeed.
Another great part of Give UNC Asheville is how easy it is to amplify the impact of your gift! When the first 1,000 donors make a gift of any size, we will unlock $25,000 in support of the University’s Area of Greatest Need, and, when the first 84 donors make a gift of any size to the academic department of their choice, we will unlock an additional $20,000 from Donald ('84) and Debra Henson for the Biology department in memory of late UNC Asheville professor Dr. John McCoy.
You are an integral part of our mission to provide our students with an affordable, adaptable, and endlessly relevant education. And when every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference, there is no time to wait. Join us and make your Give UNC Asheville gift today!

Thank you again to all our donors who made a gift to the academic department of their choice and to Don '84 and Debra Henson for sponsoring this immensely generous challenge gift in honor of late UNC Asheville professor Dr. John McCoy!
Special thanks to alumni Greg (pictured above) and Ashley Garrison '05, owners of The Hop Ice Cream Cafe, and Caroline Dockery '20, owner of Morsel Cookie Co., for providing sweet treats as we teach our students about philanthropy this week! Elizabeth Conte '19 & Rocky (pictured above) appreciate the sugar rush.

Help us spread the word about #GiveUNCAsheville by becoming an advocate!
You can share your unique advocate link and track how much support you generate! To celebrate our advocates, we’ll send three swag bags to our top advocates once the final numbers have been crunched: one swag bag for the advocate with the highest number of clicks generated, one for the highest number of individual gifts generated, and one for the greatest cumulative total of gifts generated!
Let’s get to work to support our students! Go, Bulldogs!
