UNC Aims High in New Fundraising Campaign
UNC-Chapel Hill will announce a drive to raise $4.25 billion by the end of 2022 in what would be the largest campaign in the Southeast and the second-highest total among public universities.
In a celebration Friday and throughout the weekend, university leaders are unveiling a campaign that has been quietly underway for three years. Already, $1.7 billion has been pledged in the fundraising effort.
The money will go primarily to student scholarships, faculty support, new arts and science initiatives and expanded entrepreneurial programs.
By the end of the weekend, UNC officials will have announced more than $100 million in new donations, including a $50 million gift from the campaign chairman, John Townsen, and his wife Marree Townsend, which will be divided among the Ackland Art Museum, College of Arts & Sciences, Kenan-Flagler Business School, athletics and other areas.
