Charitable Donations and Soliciting Funds

Charitable Donations Reminder

For ledger 7 deposits that are charitable donations, please provide either a completed BA-151 or the information needed to complete a BA-151 with the deposit so that Foundations is notified and the donor receives the proper acknowledgment and credit for their gift. If this information is not provided, Foundations will not be notified of the donation or donor.

• Completed BA-151 Form
• Redacted copy of check
• Deposit slip (usually pink)
• Any supplemental letter or invoice or documentation that was provided to explain the purpose of the check. This piece varies from gift to gift so it’s hard to look for the same thing each time.

Soliciting Funds

Before soliciting funds that will be deposited into NC Agricultural Foundation accounts (IE 6 accounts) that are to support events, please contact the NC Ag Foundation as they need to review all solicitation requests and materials prior to the event organizers/departments starting their solicitations to ensure they meet IRS requirements. Please reach out to cals_advancement_business@ncsu.edu to have the materials reviewed. Once the materials have been approved and you receive funds, please be sure to include a copy of the event brochure/flier with the original checks when providing them to CALS A/R. This will ensure they are provided to the NC Ag Foundation in a timely manner.
