Giving & Impact | UND Alumni Association & Foundation
It’s worth everything.
Forever (and Ever) UND:
A Bold Next Step
Because of you, we crushed our $500 million fundraising goal well ahead of deadline. Our new goal of $625 million isn’t just about a bigger number — it’s about a bigger impact.
We do. We lead. We are forever UND.Forever UND is guided by collaborative input from stakeholders and the UND LEADS strategic plan. It is focused on fundraising for four important areas.
Student Scholarships
In 2024, UND increased its enrollment by the largest margin in a decade. The key? Increasing scholarship offerings to recruit and retain students.
Faculty & Research
One chair or professor can touch the lives of many through the courses they teach, the students they mentor or simply through their academic work.
Programs & Priority Needs
By supporting programs and priority needs, we ensure our students have access to ideal experiential learning opportunities.
Capital Projects
As the Nistler College of Business & Public Administration continues to celebrate the completion of its new building, more new projects lie on the horizon.
Pledge Your Loyalty
Together, we create champions.
Our programs enhance the UND experience for student-athletes, preparing them for competition and life beyond athletics.
