In line with other fundraising efforts across campus, the NC State Engineering Foundation, Inc. led the College in surpassing its $230 million Think and Do the Extraordinary Campaign goal this year, with $250,010,197 raised to date. We are poised to raise $260-$270 million by campaign close on December 31, 2021.
Fundraising totals to the College were $26,651,510 during the 2020-21 budget year. The College has invested heavily in projects like Day of Giving, raising a record $6.1 million from 1,706 donors this March in support of department enhancement funds, the Women and Minority Engineering Programs (WMEP), scholarships and professorships. Closing the fundraising gap for the now-open Fitts-Woolard Hall remains a priority, and we hope that the ability to introduce prospective donors to the building will facilitate more gift conversations.
Endowments to the College generally fall into one of three categories: scholarships, named professorships and fellowships. There are now 67 permanently endowed named professorships and more than $70 million in total endowed scholarships. Total endowment support for the College is $199.7 million as of June 30, 2021, including directly owned assets as well as endowments held outside of the Engineering Foundation.
The annual giving program raised a total of $536,767 for the College of Engineering Leadership Fund. The Dean’s Circle, the College’s leadership annual giving society, grew to a total of 566 members, which includes 262 new members.
These results illustrate an all-hands-on-deck advancement mentality. The Foundation is working to expand its front-line capacity to assign more fundraising resources to the largest departments and create space to better support WMEP.
