A Forest of Unicorns

A match made in the Forest.

We cannot thank you enough for (once again) rallying around the hardest-working fund in our Forest. Your gifts amounted to the $100,000 we needed to secure a generous matching gift, which means $200,000 directly applied to student aid for deserving Deacs.

It’s not hyperbole to say that lives will be changed, all thanks to you. Now raise your glass of the finest, and thank you, Deacs!

How rare are you?

It’s not bragging, it’s pride. Well, maybe it’s both. Either way, let the world know you are one of the 100,000 who bleed Old Gold and Black. Post your favorite photo from your graduation with the hashtag #WakeForest1of100K and let the world know just how Unrivaled you really are.


Give to something that could
change everything.


This is how the fund that’s all over the place brings Wake Forest together. Not only does a gift to the Wake Forest Fund set in motion a chain of events that keeps the best and brightest on campus and increases the value of your degree, it’s also a direct investment in those with the potential to change our world for the better.

At any amount, your gift makes a real difference.

Student financial aid, faculty development, emerging programs for students, library and technology resources and facilities renovation – these opportunities, and many more, are possible because of unrestricted gifts to the Wake Forest Fund.

The Wake Forest Fund is the annual fund of Wake Forest University. It fills the void between where tuition dollars end and endowment funds begin. This support directly impacts the student experience on our campus. It reinforces our mission to create opportunity, educate the whole person and inspire excellence so our students can lead lives that matter.
