$100 million Capital Campaign

N.C. A&T PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED A $100 MILLION Capital Campaign in October 2002. This comprehensive fund-raising effort spans eight and one-half years, including the campaign “silent phase” which began July 1, 1999. The Campaign concludes December 31, 2007.
Counted in the Campaign total are outright gifts of cash and securities, in-kind contributions such as equipment, property and artwork, and documented pledges and planned gifts (bequests, charitable remainder trusts, annuities, life insurance policies, etc.)

Background

In 2001 Chancellor James C. Renick appointed a Planning and Resource Council to do Strategic Planning.

North Carolina A&T's strategic vision - FUTURES - was born. This vision embraces the Interdisciplinary University model. The interdisciplinary model is an approach to education that aspires to further enhance our strong academic programs through curricular innovation, teaching across disciplines, and making "connections" for students so that solutions to societal problems are based upon expertise in more than one field.

Brief Case for Support

Council concludes A&T must:

Diversify its resource base
Enhance its curriculum to address changing educational needs
Build and renovate its physical plant with state-of the-art classrooms, facilities, and student housing

Why should alumni donate to N.C. A&T?

Giving back to your alma mater is a way of recognizing the value of your own education, and providing for today's students.

Consider these facts:

90% of students are on Financial Aid

Only 15% of A&T alumni of record made a gift last year (3,585 out of approximately 24,000).

When founded, A&T was supported almost entirely by public dollars. At present, state support provides less than 35% of the funds needed to provide students with the high quality education to which the University is committed.

The State of North Carolina has cut $22 million from A&T's budget over the past three years
