The UNC Charlotte Violence Prevention Center (VPC) is a catalyst for change in violence prevention. As a multidisciplinary hub, we leverage diverse expertise and collaborate widely to create evidence-based strategies that address and reduce violence. Our Center is rooted in the belief that all communities deserve safety, equity, and resilience, and we work diligently to turn this vision into reality.

Matching Gifts

If you or your spouse/partner work for company that matches your charitable gifts, you may be able to increase the size of your donation through a matching gift. Search our online database to see if your organization participates.

Endowments

Gifts made to create an endowed fund are invested for perpetuity. A portion of the earned income is then used to support the fund’s purpose. Any excess earnings are reinvested, allowing the fund to grow. Endowments may be created for student scholarships, research assistantships, and fellowships, faculty chairs and professorships, or many other purposes. Major gifts create long-term financial stability for the Center and provide opportunities to align a donor’s interests with the Center’s multiple needs and goals. Contact Center Director Dr. Apryl Alexander at 704-687-8947 or by email at Apryl.Alexander@charlotte.edu.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts include gifts of marketable securities such as stocks and bonds; estate gifts through a bequest in a will or through a trust; charitable gift annuities or charitable remainder trusts that provide a lifetime income stream to the donor; and other gifts of real estate or tax-deferred retirement assets.
