Celebrate NDSU Athletics by making a gift to your favorite team, program, or the Team Makers fund! When you support Team Makers or any of our sport specific Bison Athletic Excellence Funds, you provide necessary resources in support of student-athlete excellence. 

Bison Athletic Excellence Funds
Bison Athletic Excellence Funds provide support to each individual program. Your gift to a Bison Athletic Excellence Fund goes directly to your program of choice and plays an instrumental role in continued success of the program while elevating the student-athlete experience at NDSU.

Team Makers
Your gift to Team Makers helps provide scholarship and program support for hardworking student-athletes in all 16 sports at NDSU. Make a positive impact on NDSU Student-athletes' ability to succeed in the classroom, in competition, in the community and beyond. 

Become an annual Team Makers member with a gift of $100 or more and receive exclusive benefits based on giving level. 

All gifts are eligible for priority points! Your gift to Team Makers and Bison Athletic Excellence Funds receive one (1) point per $50. Priority points recognize continuous loyalty and philanthropic support. Priority points are used to determine priority in the allocation of new or improved seating, assignment of single-game tickets, reserved parking, reserved tailgating, and football playoff and basketball tournament ticket disbursement.
