Giving

As the Belk College celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2010, we celebrate the strong relationships that have developed between the College and its alumni, friends and community partners. The College could not have grown so quickly and achieved so much, in a relatively short period of time, without the generosity of those individuals and companies who believe in the College and its mission.

Although UNC Charlotte is a state-supported institution, state funding does not cover the Belk College’s total budget. The difference is generated by student fees, investment income and private support. This funding is especially critical to the Belk College, as we strive to provide an outstanding quality business education and to compete with other top business schools.

Ongoing financial support enables the Belk College to recruit and support promising students; attract and retain top faculty; develop and maintain its curriculum; and pursue new opportunities. Alumni giving and participation rates are strong factors in business-school rankings, so your support also bolsters the reputation of the Belk College – adding to the value of your degree.

All gifts, regardless of amount, are used wisely and appreciated greatly.

There are a number of ways to make a gift to the Belk College:
