Annual Giving
Alumni and friends of the campus generously support a multitude of programs and projects with yearly gifts to the University of Minnesota, Morris. UMM's highest priority for annual giving is scholarship support. Donors are contacted for their annual gifts through special mailings and the alumni phonathon. Online gifts are always welcome.
Alumni Annual Fund
Gifts designated to the Alumni Annual Fund, which resides under the umbrella of the overall UMM Annual Giving Program, support programming and activities for both alumni and current students. The fund was established by the UMM Alumni Association as the collective philanthropic arm of the organization and gifts to the fund are distributed by the board of directors to projects such as Homecoming and regional alumni events, Profile, student activities and grants for students to participate in educational conferences, etc. Make a gift online today.
Senior Class Legacy Project
The UMMAA and the Office of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving are proud to support the Class of 2009 as they undertake a campaign to raise funds for a gift for the campus. Their goal is to provide fellow classmates an opportunity to "give back" to their alma mater, to strengthen class identity, and to encourage a tradition of giving.
Alumni Volunteer Opportunities
The Alumni Network consists of UMM alums who have expressed interest in being involved in social networking, business and career development, advising current students, helping job hunters, legislative efforts, serving on the alumni association board and helping with admissions efforts.
Refer a Student to UMM
UMM offers you an exciting opportunity to spread the word about UMM to prospective students. As part of UMM efforts to involve alumni in the future of their alma mater, we would like your help in identifying potential UMM students. With your recommendation, UMM will waive the application fee for prospective students who you feel would be a great fit for your alma mater. Simply print and fill out the form, and share it with a future Cougar.
