Foundation Board
The UNCW Foundation Board brings together dedicated leaders who believe in the power of philanthropy to transform lives through education.
Board members provide strategic oversight of the UNCW Foundation while helping strengthen the private support that advances scholarships, educational opportunities and university priorities. Through their service, members build meaningful relationships with university leaders while experiencing firsthand the impact of philanthropy across campus.
Supporting UNCW's Future
The UNCW Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that receives, manages and stewards private gifts benefiting the university. Working in partnership with university leadership, the Foundation Board helps ensure philanthropic investments are responsibly managed to support students and strengthen UNCW's future.
The Foundation advances the university's mission by:
- Managing charitable gifts that expand scholarships, academic programs and strategic initiatives.
- Supporting the chancellor's highest priorities as new opportunities and emerging needs arise.
- Accepting and stewarding complex gifts, including real estate and other selected non-cash assets.
- Facilitating property transactions that help advance the university's long-term growth and mission.
