UNCW Giving Societies

UNCW Society

The UNCW Society is the university’s premier giving society for annual donors. Recognition in the UNCW Society is based on cumulative giving to any university area between July 1 and June 30. 

Graduates of the last five years (classes of 2018-2022) are included in the UNCW Society after cumulative giving reaches half of the minimum gift amount for each recognition level.

Upcoming graduates who give $50 or more in their final semester are included within the UNCW Society and will be recognized with a graduation cord.

In addition to knowing their gifts provide essential support for our Seahawk community, UNCW Society donors receive exclusive opportunities to engage with the university based on their level of support. Be recognized in the UNCW Society by making your gift today!

EL White Society logo

The E.L. White Planned Giving Society is named for Mr. Elvie Linwood White, former mayor of Wilmington, president of the Chamber of Commerce and member of our first Board of Trustees. Mr. White established Wilmington College's first deferred gift — a will bequest that established a scholarship.

This community of alumni, friends, faculty and staff who are following his example of supporting UNCW through long-term gift planning are recognized as part of the E.L. White Society and receive a lapel pin to signify their participation. These donors are also recognized on campus and invited to exclusive events.
