Division of Academic and Student Affairs Sets New Gift Total Record on Day of Giving
Once again, the Wolfpack pulled together to help the Division of Academic and Student Affairs earn a tremendous amount of support on NC State’s 2024 Day of Giving.
On the day, the division raised more than $500,000 through 2,558 gifts, the most cumulative gifts the division has earned in Day of Giving History.
Thanks to unwavering support from its donors, the division also unlocked two challenge matches:
Feed the Pack Food Pantry Challenge: In partnership with an anonymous couple, Steve ‘79 and Gladys Deaton gave $50,000 to the Feed the Pack Food Pantry when the Student Emergency, Feed the Pack and Pack Essentials funds reached 850 total cumulative gifts. This donation will help Feed the Pack purchase a van for food pickups and other transportation needs.
Department of Performing Arts and Technology Challenge: When the Music Enhancement Fund and Dance Enhancement Fund received 300 cumulative gifts, an anonymous couple gave $50,000 to the Marching Band Fund. These funds will help the band fund travel opportunities similar to last summer’s trip to Wales.
Upon reaching 2,500 total gifts, the division also received $6,250 from the NC State Foundation’s challenge.
The top five departments in total gifts were:
