  1. Trustee approval of fundraising efforts. The integrity of NC State University is a vital factor in all fund raising projects conducted by the University or intended to benefit the University by any of its affiliated organizations. To safeguard the University's integrity, all fundraising projects intended to benefit NC State University must be approved by the Board of Trustees except as discussed below.

  2. Coordination of fundraising. The success of University fundraising efforts requires that NC State University be knowledgeable and supportive of the special fund raising campaigns throughout the University community to ensure proper enthusiasm, support, and timing for such efforts. These regulations are therefore established for the coordination of fundraising efforts by the University and any of its affiliated foundations.

    3. 2.1 Capital Fund Raising Campaigns. All major capital fund raising campaigns or projects intended to benefit NC State University or any of its affiliated organizations must be approved by the Development Committee of the Board of Trustees prior to any advance gift phase. The term "capital fund raising campaign or project" means an effort to raise a large sum of money for endowment or capital needs in a limited period of time for specified needs and for which gifts of $100,000 and greater are generally sought. The term does not include funds solicited as part of ongoing annual fundraising. The Vice Chancellor for University Advancement is charged with establishing and implementing procedures for the coordination of such capital campaigns.

    2.2 Annual Fund Raising Campaigns. Each affiliated foundation shall establish and file with the Vice Chancellor for Advancement, a fundraising plan. Plans may be for periods of up to a maximum of five years. Each Plan shall be revised periodically in accordance with University fundraising goals and objectives. All Plans and revisions shall be submitted to and approved by the Board of Trustees prior to implementation.

    2.3 Agreements with Affiliated Entities. In order to receive administrative support from the University or to use the University's name, initials or nicknames as part of the foundation's name, each affiliated and support foundation must annually enter into a signed agreement acknowledging and agreeing to abide by the provisions of this policy. The Vice Chancellor for University Advancement is charged with establishing and implementing procedures for entering into these agreements.
