“University of North Alabama Advancement believes that the keys to success in any endeavor are people and the relationships we have with them. On March 1, UNA Advancement launched the month-long 1830 Giving Day Initiative. The purpose of the initiative is to give individuals the opportunity to experience the true joy of giving while empowering our great University, faculty, staff, and students to become all they are capable of becoming. We invite you to become one of the 1,830 donors who give a gift of at least $10 as part of the 2023 1830 Giving Day Initiative. Join us by giving a gift to the area of campus that means the most to you and receive a commemorative 1830 Giving Day Initiative challenge coin. Encourage your spouse, partner, family, and friends to give their gift of at least $10 to their philanthropic priority as well, and they, too, will receive an 1830 challenge coin. When the Lion Pride gives back to the University of North Alabama, we all move forward.”

Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I have to give to a specific fund?
No. Philanthropy is all about the donor. The goal with philanthropy is to find the purpose that speaks to the heart of the donor and blesses those the philanthropist intends to serve with their gift.
How can I give?
You can make a gift with cash, check, or online, and payroll deduction is available for our faculty and staff. Please note: In order to be counted as one of the 1,830 donors your gift must be at least $10 and made during the 1830 Giving Day Initiative. In the event that you missed participating in our inaugural challenge in 2022, you can give a gift of at least $18.30 and receive the 2022 and 2023 commemorative challenge coins, while supplies last.
Can I give in memory or in honor of someone?
Absolutely. Many people make a gift to UNA in memory of a loved one, in honor of a trusted colleague, or in appreciation of an outstanding educator. While we welcome gifts made in honor or in memory of others, only the individual donor who gives the gift will receive an 1830 challenge coin.
Is my gift tax deductible?
All gifts to UNA are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.
Are there administrative costs?
Yes. All current-use funds are subject to a 5 percent administrative fee for each contribution. Endowed funds are subject to an annual administrative fee of 1.5 percent of the annual distribution date market value.
Do monthly payroll deductions and pledge payments count towards the 1830 Giving Day Initiative?
Yes. As long as the payroll deduction or pledge payment is at least $10 or more during the month of March, the donor will count as one of the donors for the 1830 Giving Day Initiative.
Is there a webpage?
Yes. Please visit https://una.edu/givingday/ for updated statistics on our progress as well as social media and email resources to help you share with others about the opportunity to make a difference!
