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
Raleigh, NC 27695-8614

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.

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.

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.

Have questions? To discuss any of these options or for more detailed information including stock transfer instructions, please contact us.

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.

Spreading a Culture of Philanthropy

Mike Constantino ’84 graduated from NC State before the Poole College of Management was born. Over the years, the recently retired EY partner has become one of the college’s most productive philanthropists. He and his wife, Lori ’84, give generously to Poole College as a way of paying it forward to the school from which EY recruits heavily, and he has persuaded other EY partners to join him.
