Chartered March 9, 1946, the North Carolina A&T University Foundation, Inc. has repurposed to the North Carolina A&T Real Estate Foundation. In 2014-2015, the Foundation engaged in a strategic planning process, which resulted in a July 30, 2015 decision to rename the Foundation and narrow its mission. Following the process, its primary purpose is to acquire, own, transfer, sell, develop, build and manage real estate or real estate-related projects in support of the University.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to transform the landscape of North Carolina A&T University, expanding its reach and impact through strategic land acquisition and real estate development. We are dedicated to providing exceptional off-campus living experiences for students, fostering community growth, and driving economic development in East Greensboro. Together, we strive to elevate the university’s footprint, create opportunities that inspire and empower our team, residents and the broader community, and catalyze positive change that will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
