Unrestricted Support

The goal for Unrestricted Support: $37 million.
The goal Achieved!: $71 million.

True excellence and distinction requires nimbleness backed by adequate resources. One without the other often precludes seizing opportunities. For instances like these — newly emerging technologies and opportunities for partner collaboration, high-profile research projects — the university relies on flexible, annual funds. 

These flexible, or unrestricted funds, also help us meet unforeseen challenges that could derail progress or cause a hiccup in momentum. You understood the big picture and saw the value. 

When examined individually, the results of Achieve! The Campaign for NC State are astonishing. When examined collectively, the results are extraordinary. But, in the words of Chancellor Oblinger, “It’s not just the dollar amount raised or the square footage of space provided by the campaign that is so impressive — it is what these things bring to our campus that make them remarkable for NC State.” 

What they bring is a transformation — a change that defines the new NC State University — now and in the future. 

Because at NC State, while others wait for the future to arrive, we wait for it to catch up.
