Annual Giving at NC State
Every year, your support creates new opportunities for the Wolfpack community to think and do the extraordinary.
Making a Difference Each Year
What if you could help one more student achieve their dream, or one more researcher discover a solution? What if you could create one more incredible educational experience?
Every year, annual giving donors remove barriers and open doors by investing in life-changing scholarships, exceptional enhancements to our learning environment and an unparalleled team of faculty and researchers. Your gift helps students fully reach their potential as the leaders of tomorrow, solving grand challenges for our state and world.
It takes a Wolfpack to power the extraordinary.
Your Impact
Powering Our Pack
Private support supplements tuition and state appropriations, bridging the gap and enhancing every aspect of campus.
- Annual gifts go to work immediately: Your gift supports people and programs making a real difference across our state.
- You choose what your gift supports: Passion drives philanthropy. Annual gifts target specific areas of interest, such as the Student Emergency Fund, the Libraries, the arts, the NC State Veterinary Hospital, Extension and scholarships. You can also designate your gift to the University’s Greatest Needs Fund to support our most urgent priorities.
- Gifts of every size add up: In the 2023-24 academic year, gifts of under $1,000 totaled $4,471,451. Every gift makes a difference.
