NMU Foundation - NMU Events and Announcements

NMU Foundation

Inspired by Northern Michigan University's Charter in April 1899, NMU will launch a new Giving Day on April 18, 2024. A day to celebrate the collective power of giving back. A day to remember what binds us. And a great day to be a Wildcat.

For ONE day only, alumni and friends can give to the departments, teams and programs they love...and DOUBLE their support! On April 18, gifts will be matched dollar for dollar up to $100,000. PLUS, the three departments with the most donors will split an additional $25,000 to continue to provide unique opportunities for their students.

Show your Wildcat pride on April 18, 2024, by wearing Green and Gold and supporting the departments, teams and programs you love.
