Giving Societies
Giannini Society
The Giannini Society is a prominent group of individual donors who support the School of the Arts annually with a leadership gift of $2,400 or more. These contributions provide a dynamic source of financial support that enables UNCSA to continue its core annual programs and initiatives, including scholarships and guest artists.
Dean’s Circles
Dean’s Circles are groups of dedicated donors who support one or more of our five art schools with an annual gift of $5,000 or more. Qualifying gifts include school discretionary funds, school-specific scholarships, and more.
Parent Leadership Circle
Our Parent Leadership Circle fosters a meaningful community for parents and families with a shared vision for philanthropy and a desire to engage with the Chancellor and UNCSA Leadership. Supporting the philanthropic priorities of UNCSA Forward, the university’s strategic plan, the Parent Leadership Circle participates in future-focused conversations designed to elevate the student experience and university as a whole.
Encore Circle
The Encore Circle was established to ensure that we appropriately recognize those alumni and friends who have created their own School of the Arts legacy through planned gifts. Membership in the Circle is accorded to anyone documenting a planned gift.
