Shared Advancement Services

Shared Advancement Services (SAS) employs our expertise in advancement to enhance the philanthropic success of our partnering UNC System institutions and affiliated entities through immersive collaboration, targeted education, and expert consultation which leads to improving operational efficiency, building equity, and increasing the margin of excellence. SAS provides crucial support to participating System institutions in the areas of prospect research and management, CRM data and reporting services, and gift planning services. Additionally, the division supports vendor coordination, analytics, and professional development for the fundraising and alumni engagement programs of the multi-campus UNC System.

The University of North Carolina System appreciates the many alumni, organizations and friends whose support creates the margin of excellence for which our institutions and affiliated entities have become known.
