Ways to give to the NC State Engineering Foundation

April 28, 2021 Engineering Communications 3-min. read

Annual Giving

Annual gifts to the College are generally for an unrestricted purpose. Gifts of more than $1,000 qualify for membership in the Dean’s Circle. Annual gifts from alumni are measured as “participation rate” and directly affect national rankings.

Endowment

An endowment is a fund held in perpetuity that benefits a specific purpose. Most endowments held by the Engineering Foundation are either for scholarships or endowed faculty positions.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts can be as simple as a bequest (including us in your estate plans). Other options include trust vehicles and annuities, which have the potential to provide an income stream and significant tax benefits.

Capital Gifts

These gifts go toward “bricks and mortar” projects. Donors are given “naming opportunities.” Opportunities include Fitts-Woolard Hall and other engineering buildings on Centennial Campus.

In-Kind Gifts

These are gifts of goods or services to the College at a discount or no cost.

Special Gifts

These gifts are directed to unique projects, centers or initiatives and approved by the dean of engineering.
