Make a gift to UNI during We Are One UNI

UNI Faculty and Staff,

From 10 a.m. today until 10 a.m. tomorrow UNI is hosting We Are One UNI, the university's first-ever day of giving. As a faculty or staff member, I encourage you to make a gift during this special fundraising event.  

We Are One UNI is driven by social media, and your engagement is essential to the day’s success. Please like the We Are One UNI Facebook page and share this via email.

The day also features participation-based challenges issued by University leadership and several UNI alumni. I would like to make you aware of two challenges that pertain specifically to faculty and staff:

If 500 UNI employees give a gift during We Are One UNI, the Executive Management Team will make a $5,000 gift to the university.

If the day has 1,500 donors total, the UNI Foundation Board of Trustees and Alumni Association Board will donate more than $10,000 to where the university needs it most.

Your gift of any size to anywhere on campus can turn into $15,000 with those challenges alone! Learn more about other challenges that can make your contribution go further, and make your online gift by visiting the We Are One UNI website.

UNI needs you! Lend your support through Facebook and Twitter, and make your online gift. Together, as one, we can make a significant difference in the lives of UNI students. Please share this with your Panther network – family, friends, colleagues. You only have 24 hours!

Purple for Life!
