University of Montana Foundation

From the President and CEO

Dear Friends,

As you enjoy this issue of Raising Montana, I hope you are inspired by the profound impact of your collective support for our University.

Thanks to you and other members of our generous donor community, the UM Foundation received $70.7 million last fiscal year (FY 2023-24) in new gifts and commitments, marking one of the highest levels of philanthropic contributions to date. Your unwavering commitment has made this achievement possible.

In this edition of the newsletter, we offer a glimpse into the many examples of the power of that dedication. We celebrate the life-changing impact of faculty support, new facilities, scholarships and more. We also look to the future by highlighting “Treasure Montana: Cultivating Our Tomorrow,” the campaign to garner support for a new campus space that will serve as the state’s hub for environment and conservation.

Together, we are uplifting UM and paving the way for a bright future. Thank you for being an important part of our devoted giving community.

With gratitude,
