Cash or Check
Cash gifts are the easiest to value for tax purposes and for a donor to transfer by check or credit card to NC State University Foundation in support of the Poole College. If you would like to make a cash gift, we accept currency, money orders, bank drafts and bank wires. We also welcome your check made payable to the NC State University Foundation and mailed to the following:
NC State Poole College of Management
Development Office
Campus Box 8614

Give Through Payroll Deduction
NC State faculty and staff can make a monthly contribution to NC State to the area of their choice via payroll deduction. Visit the NC State Employee Payroll Deduction Portal to start a new deduction or manage your existing deduction. Payroll deduction can also be managed via paper form.
Matching Gifts
Many companies and foundations will double or even triple the value of charitable gifts made by employees and their spouses, board members, and retirees. Find out if your employer will match your gift today.
Outright Gifts (Stocks, Real Estate, Property, Honorary Gifts)
You can also support NC State in many other ways that have an immediate impact on the mission of the college and, in many cases, may create tax advantages for you:
- Securities such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds.
- Real estate including personal residences, farms, undeveloped land and commercial properties.
- Gifts-in-kind of tangible property such as works of art or vehicles.
- Honorary or memorial gifts named after individuals including scholarships, faculty chairs and professorships.

Planned Giving and IRA Charitable Distributions
Many donors choose to support NC State through their estate plans — options include making a provision in your Will or Trust, or making the university the beneficiary of a retirement plan, a life insurance policy, or gift annuity. See the NC State Office of Gift Planning website for details and stories about other donors making an impact in this way.
Our planned giving staff are here to help and can work with your advisors to achieve your financial, tax, retirement and estate planning objectives.
