Giving

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at NC State is a financially self-sustaining program that receives no state funding. Fees paid by our members account for more than 80% of our annual budget. The Bernard Osher Foundation provides funding for special initiatives such as member engagement activities and program enhancements, and sponsors support our special events. Donations make up the remaining source of revenue for our programs.
