The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill aims to become the nation's leading public university. This goal relies on investing in five key areas: faculty, students, strategic initiatives, research and the campus. The University's major capital campaign, Carolina First, which started in 1999 and will run through 2007, seeks private investments for each of the five areas. The campaign has raised more than $2 billion.

The school's campaign goal was $30 million. Thanks to dedicated alumni and friends, the school has raised more than $40 million, but giving opportunities remain. Gifts for faculty support, student support, programs and facilities are needed and appreciated.
