Annual Giving Campaign
Our Annual Giving Campaign is designed as a learning experience in fundraising for our UNI Nonprofit Leadership Alliance students. This year our campaign will be focusing on fundraising for The Robert and Yvonne Koob Fund for Student Community Engagement. This fund provides scholarship opportunities for UNI students completing unpaid internships at nonprofit organizations across the state of Iowa. Want to contribute? Click the link below:
