Wake Tech Foundation Donors

"When you learn, teach. When you get, give." – Maya Angelou

Donors are the lifeblood of Wake Tech. Thank you to all the generous corporations, organizations, employees, retirees, alumni and friends who sustain the college and make our students, our faculty and our region stronger.

Donors are recognized in Wake Tech's 2024-25 Annual Report.

Other forms of donor recognition include name and logo placement and acknowledgement at events and in press releases, depending on the gift and donor preference. For more information, contact the Foundation office.

Donor of the Month

The Donor of Month program highlights contributors to Wake Tech as a way to express gratitude for donors like you.

December 2025: This month, we're celebrating an incredible show of generosity! Last month, donors rallied to support The Nest food pantry, raising more than $10,000, including contributions from 102 Wake Tech employees. This effort couldn't have come at a better time. Following the recent federal government shutdown, demand for student support surged, and your gifts helped meet that need.

The Nest is more than a pantry – it's often a lifeline. By providing free, accessible food pantries across Wake Tech campuses, along with monthly shopping opportunities and nutrition education, The Nest helps alleviate food insecurity and empowers students to thrive.
