What is an annual fund and why are unrestricted gifts important?

Annual Fund unrestricted gifts (also known as the Greater Challenge Fund) support our many programs, enhance the experience of students both on campus and across the state, and help us expand our offerings so that we continue to provide once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to our students.

Does my gift to the Annual Fund count towards the reunion giving challenge?

Yes, if you are in a reunion year, your annual fund donation will count towards your class goal!

What is the duration of the fiscal year and when should I contribute?

The NCSSM Foundation’s fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30 each year. As we wind down this academic year, we are grateful for those who have already contributed.

Will my company match my gift to NCSSM?

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please enter your employer's name here.  This tool will also help you access the forms, guidelines, and instructions that you need to submit a matching gift.

How do alumni couples' gifts count towards this campaign?

When alumni couples make a joint gift, the total amount contributed is attributed to both individuals as donors representing their graduating class.
