Year-end tax savings available through the North Dakota tax credit
Earn a tax credit while supporting NDSU students
As the end of 2020 nears, consider taking advantage of the North Dakota tax credit. Making a $5,000 gift, or more, to an endowment fund to benefit NDSU students, faculty, or programs could make you eligible for a 40 percent tax credit in North Dakota. The tax credit is 40 percent of the charitable deduction allowed by the IRS up to a maximum credit of $10,000 per year per taxpayer or $20,000 per year per couple filing jointly. For more information about how you can make a difference for NDSU and its students while benefiting from the North Dakota tax credit, contact Curtis Cox, senior director of gift planning at the NDSU Foundation.

Philanthropy in action
Uplifting a new generation of students
Dr. James Jorgenson, retired NDSU professor and former chair of the Department of Civil Engineering, says the most rewarding part of his thirty-three year teaching career was seeing students' lightbulb moments. He and his wife, Jean, established a $150,000 scholarship challenge for Giving Day 2020 to alleviate financial obstacles and guide current and future students toward their own illuminating moments of discovery and understanding.
James and Jean recognize current students face unique financial challenges. Through their civil engineering scholarship and Giving Day scholarship challenge, James and Jean hope to uplift a new generation of NDSU students.
"The College of Engineering has been very good to me and to us, and it's been a real pleasure to work with the students and staff. They've given a lot to me and we want to give back. We need to help those who need a little assistance now, and that’s the idea: to share with those who can benefit from it."
- Dr. James Jorgenson, Former Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering
