The UNO First Fund

The UNO First Fund is the University’s umbrella giving program for all cash gifts received during the fiscal year, July 1 – June 30. UNO extends a special invitation to alumni and friends to provide leadership support for UNO through membership in the UNO First Fund’s Chancellor’s Circle.

To be recognized at one of the leadership levels, beginning with the Chancellor’s Circle, a minimum cash gift of $1,000 or more must be received by the end of the fiscal year -- June 30. Members of the UNO First Fund’s leadership clubs set an exemplary standard of giving and encourage the participation of others in advancing UNO’s mission.
