Your gift on Giving Day will fund:

  • Bison Athletic Excellence Funds — provides support to your individual program of choice and plays an instrumental role in the continued success of the program
  • Team Makers — funds scholarship support, health and wellness initiatives, competitive excellence, and facility improvements for student-athletes in all 16 sports at NDSU
    - 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 receives 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.
