Making a gift to the ECU Health Foundation is an easy process. There are many ways you can give, depending on your personal preference. Some ways include giving online or through wire transfer, sending a check via mail, giving us a call or through payroll deduction. Your gift truly makes an impact and can be designated to any ECU Health entity or any college or school of the health sciences at East Carolina University, including the Laupus Library.

The most common way of giving to ECU Health Foundation Health is to make an outright gift of cash, securities or personal property. Outright gifts offer the distinct advantage of being immediately available to assist your desired area and are deductible on your taxes applicable to the year of the gift.

A pledge demonstrates your intention to make a gift and may allow you to give more generously over a period of time than would be possible through a single contribution. You can make a commitment to ECU Health Foundation payable over a period of three to five years. To make a pledge, contact the foundation office at 252-847-5626 and one of our team members to assist you.
