SU Impact
The NDSU Development Foundation is offering major grants of $20,000 to $75,000 through the new SU Impact Fund Grant Program. Available to faculty, staff and recognized student groups, the program is funded by unrestricted contributions received from alumni, parents and friends, as well as proceeds from the annual Bison Bidders Bowl.
"We anticipate applications from all across campus. We are looking for applications that will make a significant impact," said John Wold, chair of the foundation's Grants and Awards Committee. "This is very exciting. We'll have significant amounts of money to support programs that will have some visibility and the foundation's name will be attached to them."
Wold said possible applications might include, but not be limited to, speaker series featuring important national or international figures, significant lecture series, major workshops or equipment that has broad use.
"We think this program is really a terrific possibility for our campus," Wold said. "The SU Impact grants are on a much larger scale and order of magnitude than the committee has dealt with in the past."
