Giving Opportunities

We are incredibly grateful for your interest and support of Neuse Charter School. Your philanthropic support of both time and resources plays an important role in our ability to continue to advance our mission. However you choose to give, we hope you will make NCS one of your top priorities.

WAYS TO GIVE

Annual Fund:
Thanks to the participation of our parents, alumni, staff, board of directors, grandparents, and friends, we have widespread support of the school’s Annual Fund.

Capital Campaign:
We are getting prepared to embark on a capital campaign to bring our community together to build our K-5 permanent home.

Parent Volunteers:
The NCS Parent Volunteers is an organization that builds community and enhances the partnership between parents, students, and staff. Email [email protected] to get involved in this group.

Athletic Boosters:
The Athletic Booster Club is a not-for-profit organization that serves to support NCS Athletics. Membership dues fund the club and are used to supplement coaches’ stipends and athletic budgets.

Annual Giving Society

It is important that we encourage a culture of philanthropy year after year. NCS depends on our families and community to help make it the best school in Johnston County. Whether it’s time, talent, money or all three, please give each year to the best of your ability.

Capital Campaign

A new K-5 building on campus is on the horizon. Please give in support of the Capital Campaign. If you are interested in having a classroom or area of the new building named in your honor, please contact Emily Harris at [email protected]...



Neuse Charter School is the only local, homegrown K-12 charter school in Johnston County. As a charter school, NCS does not receive full funding from the state as other traditional schools do. Please consider helping us fill those funding gaps with your donation.

Our staff and students greatly appreciate the sacrifices our community makes to provide the “extras” for them each year.
