UNC enters public phase of $45M fundraising campaign

GREELEY — The University of Northern Colorado said Tuesday it has raised through private contributions about $24 million of a $45 million goal to support key university priorities, and on Saturday, UNC opened fundraising efforts to the public.

The Campaign for UNC began in July 2015. The university has received private donor contributions and commitments up to this point. The university officially launched the public phase of the campaign at its Honored Alumni Ceremony Saturday evening. The campaign will run through December 2018.

Campaign priorities include support for scholarships, faculty development, research, program support and the construction of Campus Commons, a $73.6 million student support and welcome center. Campaign priorities for support were selected through a review and feedback process conducted by college deans and university leadership and represent UNC’s historic focus on students, top-quality education and research.
