U of M Foundation

The University of Minnesota Foundation raises and manages gifts from alumni and friends, and invests and manages endowed funds.

What we do

  • Provide University-wide leadership and coordination for annual fund-raising activities and major campaigns, and track and report all gifts.
  • Invest and manage endowed funds, and distribute the payout to programs designated by donors.
  • Recognize donors through giving clubs such as the President's Club and special events.
  • Keep donors informed of the use and impact of their giving.

For more information about the U of M Foundation, contact Gerald Fischer at (612) 624-3333 or giving@umn.edu.
