Today is NDSU giving day. As in the past, there are matching contributions from generous donors when certain gift criteria are reached.

Texas is kicking ass in contributions! Our endowment is getting pretty massive. Keep it up! Biggest day of the year for the long-term success of the University.

Some pretty good leverage in those matches.

C'mon Minnesota - step up.

How does the NDSU endowment compare with others? I did a quick search (didn't look too hard) but it only showed the really big ones (Harvard, etc.)

Much bigger than the rest of the Valley schools besides UND. Last year it jumped like 20%, although I think a lot of endowments did well last year. I think the gap between us and UND is getting a lot smaller. I thought we overtook them but it looks like theirs went up considerably as well.

Ours is $325M, UND's is $366. They used to be double ours, I would guess as the In Our Hands campaign shakes out that NDSU will be more largely endowed than UND. Most of the other major FCS schools (SD's, Montanas, etc.) are around $200M.

Some of the matching contribution challenges are based on the number of gifts so even a small donation can trigger the match. Currently over $782k raised with 12 hours to go.

I wonder if the consider multiple small contributions separate gifts, not that I would do that. Last time we donated something like $25 or $50 each to the soccer and softball teams and got what looked like handwritten thank you cards in the mail.

How much do I need to donate for Matt Larsen to give a honest comment on FCS v FBS?

And how much more would I need to donate for FCS4Ever crowd to allow me to comment on how bad the FCS is without being told I'm a bad human being and father?

the first one is 100% honest

The second is only 75% purple

If you donate to different areas and different challenges, pretty sure they all count separately...need to be at least $10 each, I think....

I found an article stating the amount raised in 2020 as "more than $1.3 million" It was the first time it exceeded 1 million.
