Pack Payment Plans
By using the Pack Payment Plan, you may break up your annual and/or capital gifts into smaller payments, making it easier for you to support the Wolfpack Club. An authorized amount can be automatically withdrawn from your checking or credit card account each month. The minimum payment is $10 a month. There are two options for the Pack Payment Plan:

1. Bank Draft: Simply send us a voided check or provide us with your account and routing number, and we will debit your specified amount on the 15^th of each month.
2. Credit Card: You may set up a monthly recurring or one-time payment from your credit card. You choose the day of the month and the amount.

To determine the amount of your pledge that will be deducted each month, simply divide the total by the number of months remaining in the year when your pledge is made. Example: You make a pledge of $432 on February 1^st. The draft will start that month, so $432/11 months remaining in the calendar year=$39.27 a month.

* In order to stop a bank draft, please submit a letter in writing to the Wolfpack Club office notifying us of your decision, or please call our membership department.
* For scheduled credit card payments towards the annual fund, you must renew your pledge each calendar year.
 

Matching Gifts
Matching gifts are only accepted from a bona fide employer(s) of the account holder(s).  To determine if your employer matches gifts to the Wolfpack Club, please contact your company's human resources department as policies vary.

Please be aware that the employer establishes matching gift guidelines and reserves the right to modify them periodically.  Therefore, your company's matching gift policy may reflect something different now than in past years.  The donor is responsible for ensuring that all matching gift funds arrive in a timely fashion.  

Although matching gifts earn priority points, no benefits will be awarded from matching gifts to count towards donor benefits for a specific membership level. However, these contributions still support funding the scholarship bill for our over 500 student-athletes.

*Matching gifts may not be utilized to fulfill any seat donations and/or be part of a fulfillment to a pledge, including required annual donations for seat rights.

Please be sure to submit your match to the NC State Student Aid Association using EIN# 56-0650623 to insure matching funds are submitted to the correct institution.

You may also refer to www.matchinggifts.com/ncsu for further information. If you have questions, please contact Nick Rushing
at 919-865-1496 or nick.rushing@wolfpackclub.com. Matching gift forms may be emailed directly to Nick or faxed to the WPC at 919-865-1520.

Gifts In Kind
In lieu of monetary donations, the Student Aid Association, at the discretion of the Executive Director, may accept certain gifts and services that would otherwise have needed to be purchased. The donor receives the retail credit for the gift and/or service.

Life Insurance
Leaving a legacy can easily be accomplished by naming the Student Aid Association as the beneficiary to a life insurance policy, provided the policy has a death benefit of at least $25,000. Annual credit can be awarded for the value of the yearly premiums paid. Policies that have been paid-in-full will be assigned priority point credit based on the cash surrender value of the policy. Donors that name the Student Aid Association as the irrevocable beneficiary can also name a surviving family member to receive the membership credit upon the death of the insured. This amount may be used to establish a perpetual endowed scholarship in the donor's memory.

Securities
Securities have become a popular method in which to contribute to the Student Aid Association. The donor may claim a charitable income tax deduction, based on the average of the high and the low of the security on the day it was gifted. The avoidance of capital gains taxes on appreciated securities is another reason why this method has been so popular in recent years. Please make your securities donation on or before December 15 of each year to insure that your gift is credited in the correct tax year.

Endowments

Endowed scholarships represent the future of NC State athletics scholarships. Now more than ever, endowments are an essential part of pursuing continued success on and off the playing field. Endowed scholarships allow supporters and alumni to create a lasting impact in the lives of student-athletes and establish a legacy that will support NC State Athletics now and tomorrow. Endowments are invested by the NC State Student Aid Association, Inc., to last in perpetuity. A percentage of the annual earnings provide direct scholarship support to student-athletes. Although any contributions to the endowment are accepted, named endowed scholarships may be established with a minimum gift of $50,000 through a single gift or through installments pledged over a five-year period; sport-specific endowments begin at $250,000, and position specific endowments begin at $500,000. Donors also have the opportunity to continue to contribute to their endowed scholarship after the original commitment is fulfilled. Endowment contributions may be made through several giving methods such as cash, securities, real estate, and planned giving. Priority points are provided to those donors who make endowment gifts.

Capital Campaigns

By contributing to the capital campaign, you are directly supporting NC State athletic programs and student-athletes to successfully compete in the ACC and across the nation. Capital support makes an extraordinary difference in producing state-of-the-art facilities, venues and amenities. As the Wolfpack Club strives to support NC State Athletics to be one of the nation's top athletic departments, it is crucial that we provide first-class facilities for student-athletes, coaches and fans. Today, there are several naming opportunities available - from within Reynolds Coliseum to bricks near Carter-Finley Stadium and Doak Field at Dail Park. *Donors may secure seating rights through a capital campaign gift. A corresponding annual scholarship gift is also required based on the seat location.

Other Giving Alternatives
Other giving alternatives including trusts, will bequests and bonds, among others, are all different types of gifts that the Association accepts. The Wolfpack Club can work with a donor to create an individual giving program utilizing many alternative methods of showing your support and providing a legacy that will last forever. Real estate can be given to the Wolfpack Club. For more information on the process of giving a real estate gift, please contact the Wolfpack Club. Please note: real estate gifts will not be accepted between November 20 and December 31 of each year. Memorial Gifts may be made to the Association in someone's honor or memory. The gift (not the amount) will be acknowledged to the family.

Donor Advised Funds, Private Foundations and IRAS
Please note that the Wolfpack Club is prohibited from granting priority points or other benefits for funds received from donor advised funds or qualified charitable distributions from IRAs.  Gifts from those sources are welcome, but may only be applied as a gift that is 100% deductible. 

** Gifts to the NC State Student Aid Association may be tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. For deductibility, please consult your tax adviser.**

Annual donations to the Wolfpack Club are non-refundable. Annual donations by Wolfpack Club Members provide scholarship support to over 550 NC State Student-Athletes regardless of any impacts there may be on football or any other sports seasons.  The Student-Athletes are still attending classes and rely on the generous support for their scholarship needs. Please contact the Wolfpack Club if you have any specific questions.
