UNC Health Foundation inspires philanthropic support for UNC Health and the UNC School of Medicine, advancing patient care, groundbreaking research, medical education, and community health across North Carolina and beyond. Since 1949, the Foundation has partnered with generous donors to transform healthcare through investments that strengthen clinical excellence, accelerate scientific discovery, educate future healthcare leaders, and expand access to care. As one of the university’s largest fundraising organizations, the Foundation serves as the philanthropic engine supporting a nationally recognized academic health system dedicated to improving lives across the state and around the world.

The Foundation works in close partnership with UNC Health, a statewide health system comprising 20 hospital campuses and more than 900 clinics, and the UNC School of Medicine, one of the nation’s premier public medical schools. Together, these institutions combine world-class patient care, nationally ranked research, and exceptional medical education.
