The Office of Advancement Services
The Office of Advancement Services supports the university through comprehensive services such as private gift accounting, maintaining alumni and donor databases, information services, conducting research and stewardship. These services reinforce the fundraising efforts of University Advancement. Advancement Services includes receiving corporate and private gifts in accordance with IRS regulations and CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) standards.
Advancement Services receives corporate and private donations to the university. The Gift Processor is responsible for the receipting, recording, and acknowledgement of these gifts in a timely manner. Gift types include cash, credit card transactions, payroll deductions, stocks, matching gifts, gifts-in-kind, and memorial gifts. Our team is also responsible for recording and maintaining alumni and donor information and updating biographical information.
For more information, please contact our Gift Processor, Ms. Michelle Hocker, MBA, via email at mhocker@uncfsu.edu or by phone at (910) 672-1311.
Prospect Research and Management strategically collects information that recognizes and evaluates prospects.
This information is used to create reports and briefings to aid development officers and administrators with their efforts to cultivate, solicit and steward donors; this helps to build and strengthen relationships that lead to private gifts.
