SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIESAnnual

OPPORTUNITYAnElizabeth City State University has an enormous impact on the local economy, estimated at $112 Million in 2010. ECSU’s annual events attract thousands of people to campus and to northeastern North Carolina throughout the year. Each performance, fundraiser and athletic event stimulates our local economy and offers a source of entertainment and cultural enrichment for the region. Events are supported by students, faculty and staff, community members and a loyal family of alumni. ECSU has one of the highest Alumni Participation Rates in the University of North Carolina System, and this is reflected in the large percentage of alumni that participate in all ECSU events. Each of these attendees are potential customers for your business. Don’t miss your chance to market directly to them through our varied sponsorship opportunities.

ECSU events raise funds for a variety of programs, most of which are affiliated with Viking Athletics or The ECSU Foundation. Since 1971, The ECSU Foundation has been providing scholarships to deserving students who, without financial assistance, would not have access to a college education. To date, the Foundation has provided more than $5,500,000 dollars in scholarships, allowing students to take advantage of opportunities only available at ECSU. Show Northeastern North Carolina that you support education and ECSU by becoming a sponsor today! In addition to demonstrating your support of higher education, you will also gain exposure for your business through the University’s many marketing resources. Sponsorships are the perfect way to advertise your business while doing something worth-while, treat customers or employees to event tickets, or simply take a leading role in the Northeastern North Carolina community. Sponsorships for each event are limited and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The goal of this black-tie, annual event is to raise funds for student scholarships and allow the Foundation to offer deserving, but financially disadvantaged students the opportunity to gain a quality college education.

Viking ATHLETICS

Did you know that it costs $1,686 to outfit the average ECSU football player? Did you know ECSU has one of the highest athlete graduation rates in the CIAA, but offers significantly fewer athletic scholarships compared to peer institutions? The ECSU Department of Athletics has a long history of success and recognition both for athletic performance and the priority that academics plays in the achievement of ECSU student athletes. By increasing athletic scholarships, ECSU will have a greater chance of attracting top-notch talent, and bettering the department overall. Sponsoring ECSU Athletics is an excellent way to garner exposure for your business and show your support of ECSU’s athletic programs.

The ECSU Foundation Golf Classic is a significant fundrasing event for The ECSU Foundation, which provides scholarships to deserving students. Taking place annually during the fall, the Golf Classic helps the 90% of ECSU students who are currently receiving financial assistance while obtaining their degrees. Sponsoring the Golf Classic is an excellent way to support ECSU while enjoying an afternoon of golf with fellow alumni, friends, colleagues, or associates. A golf foursome is an excellent way to reward employees or thank VIP’s or customers, while promoting your businesses to the entire community.

The Down East Viking Football Classic (DEVFC) started in 1998 in Rocky Mount, NC, and is one of the most anticipated events to take place during the fall each year. Drawing over 10,000 fans to the Rocky Mount area, attendees have the opportunity to enjoy a CIAA football game, golf challenge, college and regional high school bands, and a variety of social and entertainment activities. Through additional recruitment and outreach activities, ECSU also offers scholarship opportunities for Rocky Mount area students.

ANNUAL GIVING

DRAFT

Annual giving is the genesis of all development. In comprehensive development programs, the annual fund is still the cornerstone of fundraising efforts. Raising money for the annual fund is all about acquiring, retaining, and upgrading donors. Through this process, our efforts focus on convincing last year’s donors to renew their support, while simultane -ously developing a case that encourages non-donors to join the ranks of giving for the first time.

Annual gifts are for current usage. We promote the annual fund as a way to identify the impact annual gifts has on the day-to-day operations of the university. These gifts generally are made with assets that are immediately expendable, and to an account or fund that is for current-use purposes such as operating expenses, scholarships or outreach programs. Whereas, gifts to endowments secure the future of our university, annual fund gifts help provide for the “excellence of today”.

We often use the terms annual giving and annual fund, which are sometimes interchangeable. “Annual giving” refers to a process and all facets of the program – direct mail, reunions, parents, gift societies and etc. And, “annual fund” refers to the dollars that are raised toward the established goal; it may also reference an account which promotes unrestricted annual gifts.

Annual gifts go to work immediately to support the best of ECSU - quality academics, student scholarships, outstanding faculty, and applied learning initiatives (undergraduate research, study abroad, internships, service learning and leader-ship opportunities).

ECSU's fiscal year runs July 1 - June 30. Gifts can be designated to the area of campus most important to you and gifts of all sizes are welcomed. ECSU offers several easy and convenient ways to give:

ESTABLISHING FUNDS

ENDOWMENTSAn endowment creates financial stability, allowing Elizabeth City State University to be less dependent on unpredictable sources of revenue, such as research sponsorship, and state and federal government aid. Endowments are created through the establishment of a permanent fund that is invested and managed. A portion of the annual income generated is used to carry out the donor’s designated purpose. Income earned in excess of the annual amount spent is added back into the endowment so that it continues to grow and maintain its purchasing power for future generations.

Establishing an endowment can be done a variety of ways; outright gifts and planned gifts such as charitable trusts and will bequests are popular ways to fund the initial endowment or add to it in later years. Donors often fund endowments as a single gift or they spread the payments over several years in the form of a pledge. Endowed funds can become family traditions, with succeeding generations adding gifts to the principal established by a founding donor.

Gifts for scholarship and fellowship endowments provide many opportunities to connect our donors’ passions with the needs and objectives of this institution. In order to guarantee that the income from an endowment will be sufficient to achieve the donor’s goals, minimum support levels have been established. The following are just a few of the categories and minimum support levels for endowments: School: $5,000,000 minimum Distinguished Professorship: $100,000 minimum

Department: $1,000,000 minimum General or Scholarship Endowment: $5,000 minimum

ENDOWMENTS, SCHOLARSHIPS, PROFESSORSHIPS and other funds

SCHOLARSHIPSToday, scholarships are becoming increasingly more important in higher education. Without them, many talented and capable students would be deprived of an opportunity to attend college. ECSU is focused on providing as many need-based and merit scholarships as possible to attract the best and brightest students, and our donors make it possible. Endowed gifts ensure that support for scholarships and fellowships will thrive in perpetuity. The principal of these gifts cannot be spent without written donor consent; however the earnings must be spent according to the provisions outlined in donor agreements.

Thousands of student success stories unfold every year. By establishing a scholarship, you help students soar to greatness. More than 90% of the ECSU student population receive some form of financial assistance; therefore, the University has identified scholarships as one of its most profound fundraising priorities. By supporting scholarships, you position the University to flourish and sustain a growing legacy of excellence. A scholarship fund can be started with a gift of $1,000.

PROFESSORSHIPSProfessorships allow ECSU to elevate our faculty by attracting and retaining the most distinguished scholars. These prestigious awards foster a powerful academic experience by providing salaries, supporting research, and enabling professors to engage in endeavors that will propel discoveries in their fields.

OTHER FUNDSAcademic excellence is the hallmark of the ECSU experience. The quality and distinction of the academic experience at ECSU guides our daily decisions and inspires our future endeavors. Brilliant students choose this University to challenge their own abilities; outstanding faculty choose ECSU for the inspiration of teaching students, and for the excitement of leading them on the journey of discovery through research.

Resource funds can be created to support individual programs such as elementary education, aviation, business, English, or any other areas of the campus that are unique to this institution and bring distinction to our academic traditions. We must continue to invest in ECSU, if we are to continue elevating our outstanding programs.

CAMPUS NAMING OPPORTUNITIES

NAMING OPPORTUNITIESCampus

Naming opportunities for campus facilities and units satisfy a wide range of donor interests and contribute greatly to the future of the Elizabeth City State University. This extraordinary, once-in-a lifetime gift or bequest will have a permanent place on the landscape and in the history of ECSU. Benefactors are honored by the University through the naming of the designated building, classroom, walkway, park, street, auditorium, conference room or campus landmark. The funds received from naming opportunities can be used to create scholarship funds, endowed scholarships and professorships, and for other use designated by the Chancellor.

The Chancellor, in concert with the Chancellor’s Committee on Naming University Facilities, will be responsible for developing a list of appropriate facilities to be named.

The Chancellor shall have the authority to delegate to the Administrative Council the responsibility for actively seeking and receiving nominations to be forwarded to the Ad Hoc Naming Review Committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

All nominations must be submitted on the official nomination form and channeled through the Chancellor’s Committee on Naming University Facilities.

Following a discussion of the preferred list of nominees with the Chancellor, the Ad Hoc Naming Review Committee will then make its recommendations to the Board of Trustees.

The Board of Trustees will approve of the naming of such facilities and units and will defer to the Chancellor for the timing of the dedication.

An Ad Hoc Naming of Buildings Review Committee will be named each year and shall have the responsibility to review, study and recommend to the full Board of Trustees all naming nominations for Facilities and Units.

New facilities will be named as soon as possible, not to exceed more than a three-year period.

Naming costs based on the Board of Trustees’ policy is 10% of the building cost.

Naming cost down payment is 50% of the total naming cost, with the balance to be paid in (5) five years, along with a signed pledge agreement.

NAMING APPLICATIONfor FACILITIES and UNITS


PLANNED GIVING

The Legacy Society was created to recognize and thank the individuals who have invested in Elizabeth City State University’s future through a planned gift. Legacy Society members are vital partners whose generosity sustains a legacy of giving that directly impacts ECSU’s ability to provide our students, faculty and staff with the opportunities and resources necessary to make positive impacts in our region, across North Carolina and around the world.

Legacy Society membership is offered to individuals who make a deferred gift commitment in support of ECSU. There is no minimum gift amount; however, written documentation of the gift is needed before membership is offered.

DISCOVER your OPTIONSOur staff can help identify the best type of planned gift for you based on your financial needs and specific concerns. Throughout the planning process, we will help you answer these complicated, but critically important, questions:

What is Planned Giving? Is it important for me to have an Estate Plan? When should I set up my Estate Plan? Who should I involve in setting up my Estate Plan? How will new tax laws affect my Estate Plan? When and how often should I review my Estate Plan? How can I benefit my heirs as well as ECSU? How can I use my Will to change the future? What is the correct way to change the beneficiaries in my Will to living trust?

GIFTS BY WILLThrough various types of bequests for ECSU, you may secure a charitable estate tax deduction for the value of the gift and know that your generosity will support the university for years to come.

GIFTS BY INSURANCE POLICYA whole life insurance policy is a very popular planned giving vehicle. By paying the premiums and naming ECSU as the beneficiary, your gift can start an endowment to fund scholarships, professorships, or a myriad of other options that will support ECSU in perpetuity when the policy matures.

GIFTS OF RETIREMENT-PLAN BENEFITSConsider using retirement-plan benefits to make a significant gift to ECSU. Due to estate and income-tax treatment of these benefits, the cost of your gift to your estate and heirs is often relatively small. These are exempt from income tax and may allow you to leave more for another beneficiary.

GIFTS THAT PAY INCOMEDo you want to support ECSU, but worry about having enough income for yourself and loved ones? Life-income gifts such as gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts can provide donors with an income stream and significant tax savings while still supporting ECSU with vital, long-term resources.

THE CHARITABLE LEAD TRUSTWith careful planning, you may be able to accomplish more than one objective through charitable planned giving. For example, if you have appreciating assets, children who may start a business in the future, and a desire to assist ECSU, a charitable lead trust may be a good choice for you.

GIFTS BY ESTATE NOTEAn Estate Note is an irrevocable pledge or debt against a donor’s estate. ECSU recommends this option for persons 65 years of age or older.
