Episode 13: Stewardship With Heather Tart

On this episode of the NC State Philanthropy Podcast, we’re discussing stewardship with Heather Tart, the senior director of stewardship for NC State’s Office of Development Communications and Stewardship. Heather leads the team’s efforts to express the university’s gratitude to supporters who give of their time, talents and finances to provide for its success. In doing so, she also gets to hear more about what makes NC State so special to generous members of the Pack. 

NC State’s stewardship opportunities have never been greater, as the university has welcomed thousands of new donors over the last few years through the recent record-breaking Think and Do the Extraordinary Campaign (2016-21), the annual NC State Day of Giving event and other philanthropic efforts. Through a variety of initiatives, Heather and her colleagues help ensure that every donor knows they are appreciated and are making a difference for students, faculty, programs, facilities and more.

Stewardship is instrumental in furthering NC State’s growing culture of philanthropy and engagement and the work of its University Advancement division, which is headed by Vice Chancellor Brian Sischo.
