YES! You can make a difference
by supporting NCCAT.

Your donation to The Development Foundation of NCCAT enables us to create innovative, exciting programs that would not otherwise be possible.  While the generous support of North Carolina’s state government provides a basis for NCCAT's activities; it is through the support of friends like you, private foundations and corporate partners’ that NCCAT is able to provide the margin of excellence in the programs it provides to teachers.

Thank you for partnering with NCCAT and the teachers of North Carolina to
"...advance teaching as an art and as a profession".

NCCAT welcomes gifts of all types, and will work with you and your financial advisors to maximize your tax benefits and the value of your gift to NCCAT.

Cash, Check or Credit Card
Gifts of cash include checks or credit card donations. NCCAT also offers a recurring donation option, making it easier than ever to donate to the Foundation on a regular basis. You can also make a secure credit card donation online.

Gifts to the Annual Fund
The Annual Fund provides NCCAT with unrestricted support for all current operations.  Every Annual Fund dollar given in a fiscal year, July 1 through June 30, is expended by the Center as part of that year's operating budget. The Annual Fund must therefore be replenished every year. Your support of the Annual Fund is vital to continuing providing the margin of excellence that distinguishes an NCCAT Seminar or professional development opportunity.

Stocks or Bonds
Your broker can transfer securities to NCCAT or send unsigned stock certificates by certified mail to the Foundation Office. Please contact us for more information.

Planned Gifts
Planned gifts, such as bequests and income-producing gifts, can provide benefits to family both now and in the future. These are gifts that will live on, benefiting teachers for many generations to come. Other gift opportunities, including the use of retirement assets, allow for maximizing the current and future benefit to both the family and NCCAT.

Real Estate or Tangible Personal Property
NCCAT can accept gifts of real estate, allowing you to make a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property. NCCAT can also elect to accept gifts of tangible personal property, and will provide the donor with a tax deduction for the appraised value of the gift on the date the gift is made.

If you own property that has appreciated substantially in value, find out how estate planning that includes a nonprofit institution like NCCAT can reduce the tax burden on your estate and potentially generate income for you and your heirs. In some instances, by donating real property, you can increase the value of your estate 200 percent and still do great work in your community.

Matching Gifts
You can often double or even triple your gift to NCCAT with matching funds provided by your employer. Check with your company's personnel office or contact us to learn if your company offers a gift matching option.
