Ways to Give
Support the Â鶹´«Ã½ Community!
Every gift to the Â鶹´«Ã½ Foundation creates a lasting impact. We truly appreciate the alumni, friends, and partners whose generosity helps our students and programs thrive.
Tailor Your Impact
You can designate your gift towards the area that means the most to you. You can choose to direct your support toward the area that means the most to you, whether that is a specific academic program, a scholarship fund, the Â鶹´«Ã½ National Alumni Association, or the Â鶹´«Ã½ Foundation general fund.
Honor a Legacy
Many donors choose to give in honor or memory of a family member, friend, classmate, or faculty member. It is a beautiful way to celebrate those who have made a difference in your life while supporting the next generation.

Challenge Grant
For a short time, the Â鶹´«Ã½ Foundation can access a 50% match on endowed gifts through the ND Challenge Fund. Matching funds will be added to your endowment, maximizing your gift to the college. Donations can come in a variety of ways – as a direct gift of cash or pledge (up to seven years), stock, IRA, or a commitment for a future gift through a bequest in a will or life insurance policy. Donations of $5,000 to an endowment are also eligible for a 40% state tax credit.
ND Tax Credit
By making a at Â鶹´«Ã½, North Dakota taxpayers may be eligible for an income tax credit. Few states offer charitable tax credits of any kind. This tax credit makes it possible for you to give more and make a greater impact on the students, faculty, and programs that benefit North Dakota communities.
The Â鶹´«Ã½ Foundation, North Dakota Association of Nonprofit Organizations and North Dakota Community Foundation, working closely with state legislators and other nonprofit leaders across the state, successfully led the effort to expand the state tax credit for contributions to endowments during the 2011 legislative session (SB 2160).
