Gifting Options
There are numerous ways you can make a gift to support the people and programs in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering -- everything from simply writing a check for your annual gift in support of the department's current needs to a major or planned gift for an endowment or a capital project. The numerous options available are divided between outright gifts and planned gifts.
Gifts to the Electrical and Computer Engineering department through the NC State Engineering Foundation, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization, qualify for any applicable deductions on income, gift or estate tax returns.
The NC State Engineering Foundation's Federal Tax ID Number is 56-6046987.
Planned Gifting
A planned gift - sometimes called a deferred gift - requires careful consideration of the financial, personal, and charitable objectives of the donors and frequently involves input from their financial and legal advisors.
Many planned gifts are outright gifts. Other planned gifts are deferred, with the donor retaining some level of control over the assets for either one or more lifetimes or a term of years.
A life income gift, such as a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust, pays income to the named beneficiary for life or a term of years. Only after the life income terminates are the funds available to the Electrical and Computer Engineering department for the purpose designated by the donor. The reverse of the life income gift is the charitable lead trust, which provides income to the charity for a period of time and then the trust assets revert to the donor or other beneficiary.
Gifting Outright
A gift to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is an investment in the future. It demonstrates a shared vision of the importance of engineering education and research and a confidence in NC State's ability to execute that vision wisely.
Through generous alumni, alumni partners and friends, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has been able to create opportunities, foster new research and technologies and attract the brightest professors and students.
