UNMC participates in Giving Tuesday today

Giving Tuesday has become a national day of philanthropy — a movement that harnesses the powerful act of collective giving.

It uses the influence of social media to transform the way we think about, talk about and participate in the giving season.

Help UNMC reach its goal of $10,000 for student scholarships by donating on Tuesday. A gift to this fund supports students by providing scholarships recognizing academic excellence and financial need. The scholarships are awarded through UNMC’s Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.

On Tuesday, donate to the UNMC Student Scholarship Fund by heading to the University of Nebraska Foundation website.

Questions? Contact Joel Gehringer, director of annual campaigns at the University of Nebraska Foundation.

Other UNMC-affiliated non-profit groups, such as the SHARING Clinics, can receive donations on Giving Tuesday as well. If you are interested in donating to one of those groups, please contact them.
