    For 94 years, the UNC School of Government has been the backbone of support for North Carolina’s public officials, from clerks and judges to budget analysts, municipal and county managers, newly elected officials, public defenders, and prosecutors. From Murphy to Manteo, we are here to ensure that those who serve our communities have the resources, training, and guidance they need to succeed. Today we are asking for your help to continue furthering this mission. Please watch this message from our Dean or read on to learn how you can be a spark in this effort.

    This year, our commitment continues with impactful initiatives like:

    • Public Defense Education: School faculty responded to nearly 800 inquiries from 70 of the state’s 100 counties, providing critical support to public defenders last year. With North Carolina actively increasing the number of public defenders across the state, our service in public defense will be even more impactful.
    • Carolina Across 100: Our “Our State, Our Homes” program is partnering with 14 communities across 22 counties to enhance affordable housing options.
    • Financial Training for Local Governments on the Unit Assistance List: In 2024, School faculty guided 70 counties and municipalities through a curriculum to address financial challenges and support their removal from the Unit Assistance List. The School continues this work, helping communities achieve long-term financial stability.

    These programs operate because of generous supporters like you. Make a gift today and help us continue our mission to support North Carolina’s communities.

    Support the School of Government TODAY! 

    Thank you for your continued support.

    PS. A gift now will have an even greater impact, helping us meet our giving day challenges!
