Gifts to the Annual Fund are the most popular way of supporting the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health.  The Annual Fund provides scholarship assistance to Annual Fund Scholars in all of the School's eight academic departments and programs.  It also provides the discretionary income the Dean needs to fund new courses, retain experts in emerging areas, respond to unanticipated needs and opportunities, and move the School in new directions.

Rosenau Society

The Rosenau Society is the leadership gift club recognizing alumni and friends who give $1,000 or more in unrestricted funds to the Annual Fund, to one of the School's departments, or to the Public Health Leadership Program by the end of our fiscal year, which ends June 30th.  The Rosenau Society is named in honor of Milton J. Rosenau, the first dean of the School of Public Health.
