Make Your 2019 Year-End Gift to the College

2019 is winding down, but donors still have time to make a year-end gift to the College of Sciences.

Please read the information below to make your 2019 year-end gift. Most NC State offices will be closed for winter break during the week of Dec. 23, though the university’s Advancement Services office will be on-call Dec. 26-27 and open during normal business hours Dec. 30-31.

Online

The fastest way to make a year-end gift is with a credit card at sciences.ncsu.edu/give. Online gifts must be completed by 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31.

Phone

The university’s Advancement Services office will have staff on call over the holidays to speak with donors who want to give by credit card over the phone. These gifts will be processed through 5 p.m. EST on December 31 (see “Donor Assistance” below). The telephone number for making these gifts is 919.515.7827.

Gifts By Mail

The last official processing day prior to the winter break is December 20. We cannot guarantee that gifts received after this date will be processed in 2019. Tax receipts reflect the gift processed date. It is ultimately the donor’s responsibility to consult their tax adviser for IRS requirements regarding deductibility.

Send gifts to:
NC State College of Sciences Foundation
Campus Box 8118
Raleigh, NC 27695-8118

Please make checks payable to “NC State College of Sciences Foundation” and indicate the name of the fund you’ve chosen on your check.

Gifts of Securities

Donors planning to make a gift of securities in 2019 should follow the guidelines below. 

• The securities must be received in one of our brokerage accounts with Charles Schwab by December 31 in order to be deductible in 2019.
• Please alert Advancement Services at 919.515.7827 or stockgifts@ncsu.edu to discuss transfer procedures as soon as possible if you plan to make a gift of securities. Some securities can take much longer to transfer than anticipated due to how they are owned. Early planning is strongly encouraged.

Donors will need to provide the following information when they transfer securities:

Donor Name
Name of Security(ies)
Number of Shares
Expected Date of Transfer
Transferring Brokerage
Name of Fund Receiving Gift
Purpose of Gift (Fund)
