A Case for Giving
Why do alumni and friends support the University of New Hampshire?
Gifts to the University provide crucial support for students, faculty, and programs.
Private support includes gifts and grants given to the University by people--alumni and friends—and institutions—corporations, foundations and organizations—who are committed to helping UNH fulfill its mission to provide the highest quality public education.
Donors make charitable gifts for many reasons. You might decide to give:
• to make a difference—for a student, a professor, a department, or a program.
• to remember someone you love or respect—by naming a scholarship, a professorship, a lectureship—even a building.
• to maintain an interest or affinity in a particular program you want to see grow and succeed.
• to show your gratitude for your UNH experience.
• to demonstrate your leadership and your support for higher education in New Hampshire.
• to challenge others to give.
• to support your financial or estate planning through philanthropic tax advantages.
• to be recognized and join your peers in giving. At UNH, we believe there are compelling reasons for each of our alumni and friends to give.
When you decide to give, you will have many opportunities to make a difference.
