Day of Giving for Students

Everything you love about NC State — like your favorite programs, campus spaces and wellness resources — is made possible thanks to our donors. On Day of Giving, your passion inspires them to fuel our Wolfpack’s future.

It’s easy to make a difference for programs you love:

  • Compete in social media challenges using #GivingPack and share your NC State story.
  • Take part in activities at the student events happening across campus for a chance to win swag or food.
  • Participate in the student referral link challenge to win swag and bonus funds for the programs that mean the most to you.
  • Make a gift to your favorite college, unit or program.
  • Check out what your college is doing on Day of Giving and get involved with your friends.

Scope out the best Day of Giving event for you


Look up your student referral link

This year, we’re offering a new way for students to get involved on Day of Giving. Look up your personal referral link using the form below; you should also have received it via email. Share it with friends and family members and encourage them to make a Day of Giving gift by:

  • Posting on social media
  • Texting all the group chats
  • Sending an email
  • Making a phone call

The first 200 NC State students who earn five gifts from their unique referral links will earn a special NC State swag item. Plus, the three students who earn the most gifts through their links will earn an additional $1,500, $1,000 or $500 for their areas of choice.


Student Leaderboard

See how you stack up against other students. The leaderboard is tracking the number of gifts brought in through your personal referral link and will be updated approximately every two hours on Day of Giving.


Share on social media

There are lots of opportunities to enter social media challenges on Day of Giving for chances to win additional funds for the colleges, units and programs that matter to you.

Use these post templates to share your personal referral link with friends and family for a chance to win swag and bonus funds. Be sure to add your unique link before you post.
