ONEUNG campaign supports big bets

The University of North Georgia (UNG) Foundation is aiming to raise more than $100,000 this April to support work on UNG's seven strategic big bets and its legacy-making commitments. Each of the bets and the legacy-making commitments have multiple options of programs that alumni, faculty, staff, and community members can choose for their gifts as part of "ONEUNG — Bold Forward."

Full details on the crowdfunding options for each bet and the commitments to legacy-making can be found at the links below:

• Design and build a leadership foundry.
• Accelerate the fine arts and entertainment.
• Supercharge workforce development.
• Expand the STEM value proposition.
• Deliver the Corps of the future.
• Get in the national security game.
• Build the most competitive, value-added Division II athletic program in the nation.
• Commitments to legacy-making.

"Outlined in the 'Bold Forward: Running into our Calling' white paper, these initiatives are designed to elevate the student experience and drive UNG's future. This giving campaign will fund several impactful projects, including scholarships, enhanced resources, and expanded learning opportunities," Alberto Perez, director of annual giving, said. "ONEUNG — Bold Forward invites alumni, donors and supporters to play a vital role in bringing these bold initiatives to life, ensuring a stronger, more innovative future for UNG students. We encourage donors to choose a bet that resonates with them and support a project in that area."

This campaign has occurred annually since 2017, and all interested parties looking to participate in the annual giving tradition can learn more information at ungive.org/oneung.
