NCABR Giving

Giving to NCABR is a tradition as old as our association. Founded in 1989, NCABR has evolved alongside the bioscience research that we steadfastly share with North Carolinians, thanks, in part, to the generosity of friends of science who make NCABR a philanthropic priority.

In short, charitable giving allows NCABR to exist at-the-ready to tackle new projects and to continuously provide support for and promote public understanding of bioscience research.

Gifts of every size matter and are used to support NCABR’s mission. With your permission, all gifts will be recognized.

Giving levels denote cumulative giving within the NCABR fiscal year of July 1 through June 30.

There are many meaningful ways to support NCABR. Your gift can be given:

  • To help NCABR fulfill its mission;
  • In honor of a member of the bioscience community in North Carolina and beyond, or a K-12 science teacher; or
  • In memory of a member of the bioscience community in North Carolina and beyond, or a K-12 science teacher.

Don’t forget – make your gift go twice as far! Matching gifts from your employer are a great way to leverage additional dollars to support NCABR. Please check with your company to see if they offer matching gifts, or let us know if we can assist you with this process.

NCABR is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization, and all gifts are tax-exempt.
