About
The UND Alumni Association & Foundation supports the ongoing growth and development of the University of North Dakota.
We are the official fundraising and private gift-receiving organization for the University of North Dakota. We work closely with alumni and friends, faculty and staff, corporations and foundations, and the University to create fundraising programs and opportunities that benefit the University and its excellence in teaching, research and public engagement. We keep classmates in contact with each other and alumni connected to campus.
Forever UND
An outstanding $55.2 million was raised by alumni and friends prior to fiscal year-end on June 30, 2023. These generous donations will benefit UND students, faculty, facilities and programs as we move into 2024. Our dedicated donors are the driving force behind the University of North Dakota's past achievements, present successes, and the bright promise of the future.
In October, we launched the public phase of Forever UND: The Campaign for the University of North Dakota, a $500 million comprehensive fundraising campaign that will change the trajectory of our beloved alma mater.

Since its opening, the Gorecki has hosted thousands of events, fulfilling the wishes of UND’s very first graduating class in 1889 — connecting alumni with each other and the University of North Dakota.

Land Acknowledgment
The University of North Dakota rests on the ancestral lands of the Pembina and Red Lake Bands of Ojibwe and the Dakota Oyate – presently existing as composite parts of the Red Lake, Turtle Mountain, White Earth Bands, and the Dakota Tribes of Minnesota and North Dakota.
We acknowledge the people who resided here for generations and recognize that the spirit of the Ojibwe and Oyate people permeates this land. As a university community, we will continue to build upon our relations with the First Nations of the State of North Dakota - the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation, Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Nation, Spirit Lake Nation, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians.
