Dragon
Giving Day

Join Dragons near and far in making an impact that lasts. Every gift today fuels scholarships, strengthens academic programs, and creates opportunities for high-achieving students to thrive.

Your support fuels the drive of high-performing students and helps shape the future of our region.

You’re supporting more than a 
school — you’re backing a journey.

Your generosity doesn’t just fund buildings or budgets. 
It lifts students. Sparks ideas. Shapes the kind of community we all want to live in. Here’s what your giving makes possible:

Built on Vision. Driven by Fire.

At the MSUM Foundation, we are entering a bold new era where every gift is measured by its power to transform student lives. We are moving beyond incremental growth to champion the ambitions of our students, sharing their stories with urgency to show the world why Minnesota State Moorhead is a premier place for investment.

A Glimpse at the MSUM Alumni Center

The MSUM Foundation worked with Foss Architecture + Interiors to carry out comprehensive design services for a new Alumni Center. 
The building’s modern design embodies the forward-thinking vision of the university and the MSUM Foundation. Its materials—stone, brick, and glass—harmonize with existing campus architecture, while metal panels inspired by dragon scales celebrate the Dragons and the MSUM identity.

With faculty who bring industry expertise and a community that believes in their potential, MSUM students graduate ready to make their mark in media, strategy, and storytelling.

There’s a place for you in this story.

Giving is one way to show your Dragon pride. But it’s not the only way. Whether you want to attend an event, nominate a fellow alum, or share your own Dragon journey — we’d love to hear from you.
