UNT Day of Giving 2026
Will you UNlock Ambition during UNT Day of Giving?
Ambition lives here — in students who rise early, stay late and envision more for themselves and their communities. UNT Day of Giving is the moment when that ambition becomes momentum. When you give, you turn belief into action and open doors that accelerate student success across our campus. Last year, we raised over $2.2 million from more than 1,800 donors. Join us in making this our best Day of Giving yet!
You create direct, tangible change:
- Your gift UNlocks Ambition — providing scholarships, mentorship and emergency funds that remove obstacles and open pathways to success.
- Your impact leads to career-connected learning — strengthening innovative programs that develop world‑class talent with experience outside of the classroom.
- Your dedication drives student success — empowering UNT to lead in access, innovation and opportunity beyond the classroom and into the workforce.
You fuel real opportunities for students to rise, lead and succeed.
