Annual Giving Phonathon FAQ and Tips
For all that a university hopes to accomplish, there can be no greater goal than to provide students with the opportunity to receive an excellent education. Your annual gifts directly impacts today’s A&T students as well as future generations of Aggies. Ongoing annual gifts provide flexible support that allows investment in strategic priorities throughout the year.
Gifts from alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff and students strengthen our ability to serve students with scholarships, programming, curriculum enhancements, study abroad experiences, technology updates, and more.
First, please know that we would truly appreciate a gift of any amount as every dollar and every donor counts. We are mostly interested in your participation, and appreciative of your support. Consider making a gift in the amount that it costs to buy coffee for the week, or the cost of a pizza. Our callers will help make the giving process easy for you, and we have many payment levels, methods and schedules to fit your comfort level. Whatever the size, show your Aggie Pride by participating in the Annual Giving Campaign.
If you are truly unable to give, please allow our Call Center Representative to update your contact information so that we can avoid sending N.C. A&T publications to the wrong place; then let the caller know that you won't be able to make a gift this year.
- Please consider how much you would like to give in this year’s Annual Giving Campaign. Committing to a specified pledge amount allows for N.C. A&T to plan and budget around the funds we can anticipate receiving. If you are unsure of the total amount you plan to give, make a pledge of the minimum amount you are sure to give, and feel free to increase your gift later if you decide to do so.
- Please consider giving by credit/debit card, or by processing a check over the phone. These payment methods are extremely helpful because we can fund campus priorities right away and it will help us in our efforts to “Go Green.” Using any of our payment options over the phone also simplifies things for you, because you won't have to remember to send a check. If you're concerned about paying the full gift amount at once, we are more than happy to set up a payment schedule. We can also schedule a future processing date on whatever date that you choose.
- N.C. A&T is looking forward to receiving your committed support to keep our university moving ahead. Please be sure to submit your gifts to our office by June 30th to receive credit for the current fiscal year and to be sure your name is published as a donor in the next Annual Chancellor’s Report.
