FOREVER UND: THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA.
Together, we embark on a $500 million comprehensive fundraising campaign to build a University of North Dakota for the future: a future where people are empowered to make a difference and where the torch of knowledge is passed on to those who will lead the way.
The campaign was unveiled during a special event, “Forever Starts Here: A Celebration for the Future,” held Friday, Oct. 6, in the Memorial Union on the UND campus and for an online audience watching a livestream of the event. With a silent phase that commenced in 2018, UND Alumni Association & Foundation CEO DeAnna Carlson Zink and UND President Andrew Armacost revealed that, at the time of the event, the campaign had already raised a remarkable $368 million from generous alumni, friends, and corporate partners. That initial support set the stage for the public phase of the campaign.
The comprehensive campaign, guided by collaborative input from UND leadership and stakeholders, and the UND LEADS strategic plan, is focused on fundraising for four important areas. Forever UND: The Campaign for the University of North Dakota supports capital projects, student scholarships, faculty & research, and programs & priority needs. \\\
