University of North Carolina Ashville Athletics
Annual donations made to the Bulldog Club help provide our student-athletes with a championship experience in the classroom and in competition through scholarships and other programmatic support.The best way to support UNC Asheville Athletics annually and make an impact on every team is by donating to Bulldog Club, the primary unrestricted scholarship fund of UNC Asheville Athletics. Any charitable gift made over the course of the membership year to the Bulldog Club qualifies you to become a “member” for that membership year.
Membership Year:
July 1 - June 30
Qualifying Contributions:
Any charitable gift made over the course of the membership year (July 1 – June 30) to the Bulldog Club fund (formerly known as "Bulldog Athletics Fund") qualifies you to become a “member” for that membership year.
Membership Benefits:
Becoming a member of the Bulldog Club supports all UNC Asheville student-athletes and qualifies you for exclusive benefits. Unless applied to future membership years/campaigns, your contributions made during the current membership year count towards that year's total giving and qualifies you for associated benefits for that giving level (See "Levels & Benefits Chart"). The fair market value of the benefits members receive are subtracted from the tax-deductible portion of the donation and will be reflected as such in the year-end tax receipting.
Ways to Give
Gifts can be made securely through UNC Asheville’s secure online giving site.
A monthly recurring gift is a great way to have an ongoing impact on UNC Asheville’s student-athletes. These consistent gifts provide a critical source of ongoing financial support for the program. You can set up your recurring gift by checking the “recurring” box under the amount section online here.
Please make checks payable to "UNCA Foundation/Athletics" and notate the specific area of support in the memo line or in an accompanying letter of direction (i.e. "Bulldog Club", "Women's Soccer", "Men’s Basketball", etc.).

While cash gifts for current use are vitally important, endowments are the bedrock of all great universities. Once fully funded, your gift produces annual income to support the endowment’s purpose for years to come. Endowments provide certain, steady support in perpetuity.
Funds invested in UNC Asheville Athletics endowments help to offset the scholarship costs for our student-athletes and make a big bottom-line impact for our program.
