Building a healthier future

article summary

Philanthropy supports everything we do at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, and it is a crucial ingredient in our success.

From attracting top students and faculty, to supporting groundbreaking research and programs that meet the needs of North Carolina communities and industry, gifts from individual donors and foundations give us flexibility to recruit the brightest minds and put them to work on emerging public health issues.

Since reaching the $200M milestone in UNC’s historic Campaign for Carolina, we’ve increased our focus on student support. Other institutions have more resources for scholarships — but by offering timely awards to students to study key areas, we can continue to graduate scholars who lead in their field. They bring Gillings values and expertise into industry, government and the nonprofit sector, where they work to ensure our air and water are clean, that new medical interventions are safe and effective, and that we will be prepared for future pandemics.

Give today to support top talent at the nation’s top public school of public health.

Read about how other generous members of the Gillings community have stepped up to fund transformative experiences for students. Two of these come in the form of planned gifts that include the Gillings School in an estate. Learn what motivated them and the legacy they would like to leave for N.C. and the world.
