Fueled by strong support for Fitts-Woolard Hall and the Think and Do the Extraordinary campaign, the NC State Engineering Foundation had another excellent fundraising year with giving totals to the College at $19,090,566.

Endowments to the College generally fall into one of three categories: scholarships, named professorships and fellowships. There are now 313 permanently endowed scholarships in the College and 56 permanently endowed named professorships. Total endowment support for the College is $139.7 million as of Dec. 31, 2018, including directly owned assets as well as endowments held outside of the Engineering Foundation.

The annual giving program for the COE raised a total of $1,504,343 for the College of Engineering Leadership Fund and all nine department enhancement funds. The Dean’s Circle, the leadership annual giving society, grew by 17 members, bringing our total membership to 504 alumni and friend donors, representing a 3-percent increase from the previous year. These gifts often represent our “pipeline” for major gifts and an important part of the College’s overall advancement plan.

The Think and Do the Extraordinary Campaign began in 2013 and concludes in 2021. The College of Engineering’s goal is $230 million and thus far has raised $182,108,859.

The NC State Engineering Foundation, Inc., established in 1944, is the fundraising arm of the College of Engineering.
