2025 Is Almost Over—Big Wins, Bigger Goals: Help Us Reach Our 25th Anniversary Fundraiser Goal

The North Carolina Association of Pharmacists (NCAP) is closing out its 25th Anniversary Advocacy Fundraiser, celebrating 25 years of unified advocacy and building on the historic legislative victories achieved in 2025—including PBM reform, expanded pharmacist authority to treat flu, provider recognition in insurance statutes, and modernized collaborative practice laws.

While these wins mark major progress, our work is far from finished. NCAP’s Advocacy Fund supports the crucial next step: ensuring these laws are effectively implemented with DHHS, Medicaid, commercial health plans, the State Health Plan, and other state agencies.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 by the end of 2025, and with the year coming to a close, we need your help to get there. Your support powers NCAP’s grassroots advocacy to advance key priorities such as modernizing collaborative practice, securing payment for pharmacist-provided services, reforming PBMs, and expanding test-and-treat authority.

Every contribution strengthens pharmacy’s voice and helps create a brighter future for patients and the profession.
