破纪录的捐赠显示捐赠者看涨北卡罗来纳州

在截至6月30日的2014-15财政年度，北卡罗来纳州获得了礼物和保证创纪录的2.085亿美元自2010年总理兰迪·伍德森（Randy Woodson）掌管以来，比上一年增长了11％，增长了133％。

Gift receipts, an important measure of “cash in the door,” totaled $119 million, marking the fourth consecutive year receipts have exceeded $100 million. Donations made through the university’s annual giving program increased by more than 10 percent to a record $2.7 million.

The number of donors to NC State continues to climb, growing by 15 percent in the past five years. Membership in the Alumni Association is up 25 percent since 2010, helping to fund $750,000 in financial aid for 150 students. Membership in the Student Alumni Association has skyrocketed 300 percent since 2010.

Brian Sischo, vice chancellor for university advancement, credits Woodson for driving the momentum in donor engagement.

“Under the chancellor’s leadership, NC State is building a reputation as an innovation powerhouse,” Sischo says. “It’s exciting and gratifying to see our alumni and supporters, including faculty, staff and students, working so hard to support the university’s upward trajectory.”

The Goodnight Scholars Program, established in 2008 to support students from middle-income families, became NC State’s first endowment fund to reach $100 million. Sixteen new commitments to establish distinguished professorships were made in the 2014-15 fiscal year, double the previous year.

“Philanthropy is what takes NC State from good to great, allowing us to provide the scholarships, programs and facilities that attract top-performing students and world-leading faculty,” Sischo says. “That, in turn, drives the cutting-edge research and innovation that creates economic, societal and intellectual prosperity.”
