The Wesleyan Fund
NCWU Emerging Needs
The annual fund, also known as the Wesleyan Fund, plays a crucial role in North Carolina Wesleyan University’s financial sustainability and success. It provides unrestricted financial support for various emerging needs, including academic programs, student scholarships, faculty development and campus infrastructure. Unlike restricted gifts, donations to the Wesleyan Fund offer flexibility to address emerging needs and seize opportunities. These unrestricted contributions have an immediate impact, enabling the University to respond swiftly to changing circumstances, capitalize on strategic opportunities and maintain excellence in its educational mission.
These funds can be allocated to areas of greatest need, including scholarships for deserving students, support for faculty research and teaching initiatives, investments in campus facilities and technology, and enhancements to student services and extracurricular programs.
