Announcing The Carolina Athletics Excellence Initiatives
The Rams Club is launching two new funds: the Carolina Athletics Excellence Endowment & the Carolina Athletics Excellence Fund.
November 21, 2024
Change is a constant in college athletics these days – with new challenges and opportunities emerging almost daily. There is one constant, however, in this shifting landscape: Carolina Athletics and The Rams Club’s commitment to excellence.
It is essential for Carolina to develop flexible strategies to provide critical resources for all 28 of our sports and to maintain our high standard of excellence for such a broad-based program. To achieve this, The Rams Club is launching two new funds designed to provide adaptable, sustainable support for Carolina Athletics and our Tar Heel student-athletes: the Carolina Athletics Excellence Endowment and the Carolina Athletics Excellence Fund.
THE CAROLINA ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE ENDOWMENT will provide a long-term funding solution with critical, built-in flexibility to address future needs. The annual yield from this endowment will be used: 1) to cover any scholarship deficit beyond what the Scholarship Endowment Trust provides; and 2) to provide a flexible resource for Carolina to answer the challenges and opportunities presented to Athletics in the years ahead.
THE CAROLINA ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE FUND is designed to provide immediate, unrestricted funding to address today’s athletic needs. A robust Excellence Fund enables Carolina to respond swiftly to current challenges as well as seize emerging opportunities.
