Give to Student Affairs

The Student Assistance Fund for Emergencies, or SAFE Fund, is a non-cash emergency fund initiative set up to provide one-time emergency assistance to matriculating students with short-term unexpected and/or unavoidable financial emergencies.

Students can apply for one-time funding opportunities up to $300 that support costs including, but not limited to, safety needs; sudden or unexpected food insecurity concerns; sudden loss of the student’s primary residence due to trauma; replacement of essential personal belongings (due to fire, theft, or a natural disaster); assistance with travel costs related to a death or illness in their immediate family; or rent assistance due to an unexpected loss of income.

The Spartan Open Pantry provides critical support to UNCG students and staff, distributing 75,462 pounds of food last year. The pantry is on track to deliver substantially more food this year on a campus where half of the students experience basic needs insecurity.

Four days a week, food is distributed at the Smith Campus Ministries Center on campus. Students and staff shop in a large dry-goods room, then proceed to the refrigeration room for dairy, meat, and fresh produce. Smaller SOP-to-Go cabinets are located around campus to help between distributions.

The SOP, founded and operated by Wesley-Luther, partners with Student Affairs to meet a crucial need. Donations of food, money, and volunteer work make this all possible. Now more than ever, it’s essential to help our Spartans in need.

This fund, managed by the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, nourishes extraordinary and vital programs which serve the development of all UNCG students, regardless of academic major. Gifts to this fund provide learning of 21st-century skills and lead to personal growth and wellness. The Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Vision Fund gives the Vice Chancellor necessary flexibility to support programs which teach leadership and responsibility, social and cross-cultural skills, and civic engagement and civic literacy.
