As Wiley University reflects on a year of progress and purpose, the institution is launching its Season of Giving alongside the $5 Million UNCF Endowment Match Campaign—a transformative opportunity that doubles every contribution and strengthens the foundation supporting students, faculty, and programs for generations to come. Together, these efforts frame the end of the year as both a celebration of impact and a meaningful invitation to invest in Wiley University’s future.
For more than 150 years, Wiley University has served as a place where opportunity meets preparation, equipping students not only to earn degrees, but to lead lives of purpose and influence. This Season of Giving highlights how that mission continues to take shape today through intentional investments in academic excellence, student support, technology access, athletics, and community transformation.
Throughout this Season of Giving, Wiley University will share stories that reflect a year defined by momentum. From expanding digital access for every student and faculty member, to strengthening academic coaching and retention efforts, to achieving record enrollment and celebrating scholar-athletes who excel both on the field and in the classroom, the University’s progress underscores what is possible when access and excellence work together.
Wiley University’s impact also extends beyond campus through initiatives such as the Financial Literacy and Wellness Center and the Wiley Economic Improvement Zone, which are designed to promote economic mobility, community revitalization, and long-term opportunity. These efforts reinforce Wiley University’s role as an anchor institution committed to uplifting not only its students, but the surrounding community as well.
At the heart of this Season of Giving is the belief that progress is sustained through partnership. Through the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), every contribution made to Wiley University’s $5 Million UNCF Endowment Match Campaign will be doubled—ensuring that support given today has twice the impact. These matched funds strengthen scholarships, faculty excellence, and academic programs while securing the University’s long-term stability.
As the year draws to a close, Wiley University invites alumni, friends, and partners to reflect on a year of achievement and to take part in shaping what comes next. Each story shared during this Season of Giving reflects lives changed, barriers removed, and a future strengthened through collective investment and belief in the power of education. Contributions made by December 31 may be tax-deductible, offering supporters an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while planning their year-end giving.
Gifts to the $5 Million UNCF Endowment Match Campaign may be made through Wiley University’s secure online giving platform at bit.ly/GiveWileyUToday or by visiting wileyc.edu/5-million.
