Development Intern – Member Services

ABOUT THE RAMS CLUB

The Educational Foundation (dba, The Rams Club) is a private foundation founded in 1938 with 501(c)(3) status. The Rams Club operates privately as an associated entity of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-Chapel Hill) in coordination with University Development efforts. The Rams Club is charged with raising funds in support of UNC-Chapel Hill Athletics, its 28 sports programs, and more than 730 Tar Heel student-athletes.

The Rams Club is made up of over 22,500 Tar Heels who believe in the mission of providing educational and athletic opportunities for UNC-Chapel Hill student-athletes. The Rams Club funds support providing a great student-athlete experience for each athlete at the University. Through endowed, annual, and capital giving, Rams Club members provide support for student-athlete scholarships, facilities, and team support.

The Rams Club has two major funds to support its goal of providing critical resources to all 28 sports: the Carolina Athletics Excellence Endowment and the Carolina Athletics Excellence Fund. The Excellence Endowment provides a long-term funding solution with built-in flexibility to address future needs. The annual yield from this endowment is used to cover any scholarship deficit beyond what the Scholarship Endowment Trust provides to allow for a flexible resource to answer the challenges and opportunities that will be presented to UNC-Chapel Hill Athletics in the years ahead. The Excellence Fund is designed to provide immediate, unrestricted funding to address today’s athletic needs and respond swiftly to current challenges and seize emerging opportunities.
