Development Foundation of NCCAT Inc.
Like North Carolina’s public schools and many colleges and universities, NCCAT is primarily funded by the state of North Carolina. However, private support makes a critical difference in the level of programs we are able to deliver to North Carolina’s public school teachers. Personal, private, and corporate donations that enhance the annual state allocation are crucial to our mission. We offer our sincere appreciation for the generous gifts from many organizations and individuals. These contributions reflect their commitment to the vital role NCCAT plays in strengthening public education in North Carolina.
