UNCF Fundraiser
At Fat Quarter Shop, we know that when a community comes together, amazing things can happen. That’s why we’re proud to support UNCF and their mission to open doors to education and opportunity through our annual fundraiser, which has raised over $65,000 for the organization since 2021. We encourage you to donate $20 or more to our UNCF campaign, and as a special thank you, one generous donor will win a Fat Quarter Shop Prize Basket!
From now through February 28th, 2026, 100% of your donation will go to UNCF, and Fat Quarter Shop will match your donations up to $5000, making your contribution go even further. UNCF has helped countless students reach their goals through scholarships and support for historically Black colleges and universities—and we’re excited to help carry that mission forward. Every donation helps create more possibilities for students and their futures.
Your donation helps students like Nia continue their education. “I am Nia Wallace, a junior at Spelman College, GA. I am on a pre-law track, majoring in economics. I am on the dean’s list, and I am a member of several service and leadership organizations. I plan to go to law school and eventually work in public relations as a crisis communications specialist. The award I received, sponsored by generous donors like you, is helping me do all this.”
