How will making a planned gift help NC State now if the money will not be available for many years to come?
Many alumni and friends of NC State are not able, at this point in time, to make a major gift. The reasons are varied-they may still have children in college, planning their own retirements or building a business to name only a few. A gift planned to mature at some point later in time allows NC State to move forward secure in the knowledge that the funds will be available at a future date. For many donors, the planned gift that will mature many years in the future may be larger than any outright gifts they could make over the years.
