UMM Fund Development
The purpose of the Office of Fund Development is to facilitate philanthropic support for UMM by fostering the interest, involvement, and commitment of alumni, faculty, staff, and friends for the benefit of UMM students and the advancement of the University of Minnesota, Morris. Private gift dollars mean the difference between good and excellent, affordable or out of reach.

The University of Minnesota Foundation
The University of Minnesota, Morris, along with all of the campuses and colleges of the University, is served by the University of Minnesota Foundation. The Foundation advances the University's mission of teaching, research, and outreach to the community by raising and managing private dollars for scholarships, world-class faculty, leading-edge research, new facilities, and academic programs. While the Foundation serves as the legal, charitable entity for the University, all gifts designated to UMM are received by the UMM campus for its use.
