The Impact of Crowdfunding

NC State Crowdfunding projects across campus help our Wolfpack meet specific, tangible goals and bring new ideas to life.

Since last year, NC State Crowdfunding has supported more than 40 projects and helped raise more than $125,000. Each of these campaigns shows the power of the Wolfpack as we work together to benefit our students, faculty and communities across North Carolina.

The Jazz Program Goes Abroad

While our talent is ready to travel, the logistical costs of transporting instruments overseas are significant. We are calling on our alumni community to bridge the gap. We need to raise $5,000 to cover the essential costs of equipment rentals and freight fees for our instruments.
