UNE Donor Stories

We are grateful for the generous financial support UNE has received from alumni, friends, parents, faculty and staff of the University and of our predecessor institutions, St. Francis and Westbrook Colleges. These committed individuals have created scholarship endowments and learning opportunities for UNE students in perpetuity. They and others appreciate the contributions our graduates are making to Maine, to our country, and to our world. We hope that our donor stories below will inspire you and that you will explore other examples of the many benefits of charitable gift planning.
