Give to the Covenant

The Carolina Covenant Campaign

Private support has been critical to the Carolina Covenant’s success. Between 2004 and 2007, generous donors contributed $10 million to support its implementation. Carolina men’s basketball coach, Roy Williams and his wife Wanda served as honorary chairs of this initial fund-raising drive.

Now, UNC seeks to raise an additional $10 million to assure full support for Covenant Scholars far into the future. We want to be ready in the upcoming decades to keep the promise of a debt-free Carolina education to low-income students. Because the University is planning for the longer-term, this additional $10 million drive has a special focus on planned gifts. With a bequest or other planned gift, donors can assure that future generations of Covenant Scholars will receive the assistance they need..

Gift Opportunities

Establish a Carolina Covenant Endowment Fund. Donors who wish to create and name an endowment to support the Carolina Covenant may do so with a minimum gift of $100,000. Income from the endowment will be used for Covenant Scholars and the Covenant program.

Contribute to the General Carolina Covenant Fund. Gifts of any size may be made to the fund, and donations will be available for use immediately. Because this is a general fund, it also gives the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid the flexibility to use these gifts later if that would be of most help to a student.
