The purpose of a UNA Giving Day is to create a fundraising platform for specific areas of need on the campus of the University of North Alabama. We invite alumni, friends, parents, faculty, staff, and the community to participate. We want to give our donors the opportunity to give where their passion lies. Our primary goal is participation. When a large group of people come together, no matter the size of their individual gifts, the cumulative results make an impact on the lives of our students and our University. We invite all alumni and friends to participate in as many UNA Giving Days as they feel led to!

There is no minimum amount. Each and every gift matters – it’s all about participation!
