University of New Orleans Foundation

The University of New Orleans is a comprehensive urban research university which offers a number of challenging and in-demand programs, many of which are uniquely linked to the rich and vibrant city of New Orleans. Since opening our doors in 1958, as the first integrated public university in the South, UNO has been committed to diversity and inclusion. For 65 years we have not strayed from this vision, as we continue to offer a unique combination of academic excellence and access.

UNO is one of the region's foremost public resources, offering a variety of world-class, research-based programs, advancing shared knowledge and adding to the region's industry, culture, and economy.

All gifts from GiveNOLA Day will be directed to the UNO First Fund. UNO First supports every aspect of university life. It provides flexibility to respond to current priorities and immediate needs. An investment today will help support our current Privateers to become the next generation of community leaders and global innovators. Gifts over $1,000 will be recognized in our UNO Tomorrow leadership giving group.

Testimonials

"UNO provided the opportunity to earn a high-quality education by staying in the area at a very reasonable cost. My wife and I met on campus... and by choosing to endow a scholarship at UNO, that's our legacy back, our opportunity to give back. It is absolutely critical for students to be able to have financial assistance so they can achieve the same quality education that we were so lucky to receive. " Bill Chauvin '74
