Fostering Opportunity and Inclusion
“When I was doing my estate plan, I considered the causes that are important to me,” said Artis, a Greensboro, N.C., native. “This is a natural extension of the giving I do while I’m living.”

Teresa Artis ’83 is a vibrant member of the Carolina philanthropic community. As an alumna of the College of Arts and Science, Artis’s giving spans several personally-meaningful areas on campus including the Renwick Fund, the Center for the Study of the American South, the Institute for African-American Research and the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History. Her gifts and bequest tell the story of what is most important to Artis and will enable her to share that personal narrative with future Tar Heels long after she is gone. “My interests are in activities that are less likely to get a lot of visibility,” she said. “I feel I can help areas that are very important but might not be as widely known.”
