Foundation

If you spend any time with NDSU Foundation staff members, one thing you are likely to hear is, "Our north star is support to campus." Everything we do is in support of our mission to forge meaningful connections, tell stories of impact, and care for the Herd.

The NDSU Impact Fund provides funding for projects, technology, and programs that help meet the University’s changing needs and have a direct, positive impact on the entire NDSU community. Give today to help support these initiatives that enhance the student experience at NDSU!

In 2025, the Foundation approved funding for the following initiatives via the Impact Fund:

1. Advancing Anatomy and Physiology Labs Through Anatomage Technology
2. Improving Women’s and Maternal Health Through Simulation Training
3. Equipment Request for the NDSU Gold Star Marching Band
