The NCSEA Foundation is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of its recent fundraising campaign, which exceeded its original goal thanks to the extraordinary generosity of both corporate partners and individual donors.
Launched in December 2025, the campaign set out to raise $30,000 by January 2026 to support the Foundation’s mission of strengthening the structural engineering profession. By the close of the campaign, the Foundation raised more than $120,000, surpassing its goal and underscoring the strong commitment of the structural engineering community to investing in the future of the profession.
A significant portion of the campaign’s success was driven by the establishment of three new scholarships and support for the new Future Builders Program.
At the same time, individual giving played an equally meaningful role, exceeding $20,000 in donations from engineers and other supporters.
“We are incredibly grateful for the generosity shown by our corporate partners and individual donors,” said Jillian Kilker, Chief Development Officer of the NCSEA Foundation. “This campaign reaffirmed a commitment to leadership, education, and opportunity within the structural engineering community.”
Funds raised will directly support NCSEA Foundation programs, including STEM education and a licensure advocacy resource, helping advance education and advocacy nationwide.
The Foundation extends its sincere thanks to every donor who contributed to the campaign and helped make it a success.
