UNC has been awarded the sustained excellence award in fundraising by the Council for Advancement and Support Education, the university announced Wednesday.
Carolina is one of nine public universities recognized for the award.
This announcement comes after UNC announced a second-consecutive record-setting fundraising total across the university over the last year.
The sustained excellence award goes to fundraising programs that have garnered a CASE award for educational fundraising for either overall performance or overall improvement in three of the last five years, according to a release.
Carolina received an honor for overall performance and improvement this year, according to university officials. And UNC has won awards for overall performance in 2015 and overall performance and sustained excellence in 2012.
“This award is a testament to our donors, who generously support the University and its important work on behalf of students and the larger world,” said David Routh, vice chancellor for university development. “Without their generosity and love for Carolina, this recognition wouldn’t be possible.”
UNC announced last month that it has raised $495 million in fiscal 2016.
