#GivingPack and Making an Impact

Each year, for 24 hours, the Wolfpack comes together on NC State Day of Giving to achieve more: creating greater opportunities, providing broader educational access, fostering bolder visions and advancing innovative research.

Day of Giving gifts of all sizes go to work quickly, even making a difference as soon as the current academic year. Here are just a few things Day of Giving gifts have helped accomplish:

  • The NC State Veterinary Hospital assisted clients with treatment costs for more than 85 companion animals, thanks to a generous matching gift from a donor.
  • The College of Education granted 17 scholarships and travel awards to graduate students.
  • Wellness and Recreation awarded two Friends and Family Scholarships.
  • The Study Abroad Office doubled the number of students receiving scholarships for the Spring 2024 academic term compared to Spring 2023.
  • The Poole College of Management received funding to support students overcoming challenges related to learning disabilities.
  • The LGBTQ Pride Center, with assistance from Pack Essentials, provided two students with emergency support with the first awards from the Spitz Dream Fund.
  • The College of Design invited designers from MASS Design Group to lead a student project for 90 students in architecture, landscape architecture and environmental planning.
  • The Science House’s Rural Equipment and Technology Loan Program served more than 500 teachers and 20,000 students in over 30 rural school systems in North Carolina.
  • Thirty-one students — hailing from every college at NC State — received the first-ever Extraordinary Opportunity Scholarship Initiative awards.
  • Wilson College of Textiles purchased loaner dress forms and sewing machines to support students learning remotely.
  • More than $20,000 raised in honor of the Women’s Center’s 20th anniversary meant support for 40 student survivors of interpersonal violence through the Survivor Fund.

Thank you for making a difference, year after year!
