How You Can Help by Jennifer Tripp

Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences is the heart of East Carolina University. Private support has helped us grow in scope and quality, deepening our impact on our students and the world. During a time of budget cuts, support for the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences is not just important, it’s critical.

THCAS Annual Fund The THCAS Annual Fund is the cornerstone of giving at the College. Through this fund, alumni and friends make gifts that invest in today’s students and faculty. All gifts, no matter the size, make a difference every day by enriching academic lives and experiences of students, faculty and alumni. Unrestricted gifts to the THCAS Annual Fund allow Dean Alan White to direct funds toward the most immediate needs of the College and to take advantage of promising opportunities that arise during the academic year.

A Planned Gift – Investing in the Future Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences has always looked to the future with bold aspirations. Today, it can do so with confidence, thanks to the generous and thoughtful support of alumni, parents, and friends who have chosen to contribute to Harriot College through planned gifts. A “planned” gift is one of several types of gifts that permit the giver to provide a future benefit to the University while meeting current financial, personal and philanthropic goals. Unlike providing immediate support to the College through an outright contribution of cash, securities, or other tangible items, planned gifts provide a future stream of support that enables Harriot College to plan confidently for future programs and projects. Additionally, a planned gift often offers significant tax benefits, greater financial flexibility, and even lifetime income. Regardless of its form, planned gifts continue to help lay the foundation of Harriot College’s future.

Join us in our goal to increase participation, increase unrestricted support and make a difference for students, departments and programs, and faculty of Thomas Harriot College Arts and Sciences. 19
