From April 20-May 1, the University of North Georgia (Ðǿմ«Ã½) community will come together for a university-wide giving campaign  focused on invigorating the institution’s seven strategic big bets. This year the campaign highlights 20 impactful projects with a combined goal of more than $150,000 in support of students, faculty and staff across Ðǿմ«Ã½.

"During this exciting campaign, alumni, donors and friends join forces to support what matters most: scholarships that open doors, programs that spark curiosity and opportunities that empower every student to thrive," said Alberto Perez, Ðǿմ«Ã½ director of annual giving. "It’s a moment to bring bold ideas to life and strengthen Ðǿմ«Ã½’s future in meaningful ways."

Several projects also feature giving challenges that double impact by matching gifts. For example, this year the Eagle Fund — supporting cadet scholarships — is offering the largest match in its history: a $100,000 dollar-for-dollar challenge. This fund is already nearing its goal and could gain a major boost from ONEÐǿմ«Ã½.
