UNI Foundation

Building a bolder, brighter tomorrow

The UNI Foundation strengthens the university through building relationships with students, alumni and friends. These relationships develop into donor investment that supports UNI students, faculty and the campus.

The UNI Foundation positions UNI as a premier institution that provides an affordable and engaged education, empowering students and alumni to lead locally and globally.

At the beginning of the campaign we asked:

What does the world need from us tomorrow?

Together, we answered that question with a bold investment in UNI's future. Now we invite you to celebrate the success of Our Tomorrow: The Campaign for UNI and the lasting impact your generosity has made on the university. Because of you, we are not only honoring what has been accomplished - we are celebrating UNI's bright future.

Please join us for an evening of connection, gratitude and Panther pride as we celebrate near you. More locations to be announced.
