Good news for sure but have to be careful about measurement dates with market volatility. I’d be curious to see the amount of new principal contributions compared to market growth.

Purely a guess, but I bet it's mostly been new contributions. Only because endowments were such a big part of the most recent university-wide fundraising campaign. Seems logical for that to be the primary source of the big increase.

Found this article really interesting:

FTA:

A $71M Athletics Scholarship Endowment towers over the overall endowments of these POS teachers colleges in the FCS... For example, the overall endowment for CUSA bound Jacksonville State University is less than $14M...

'"Once those are done, and a lot of them should be done by next summer, our facilities will be in a really good place," Larsen said.
The focus will then turn to funding the athletic scholarship endowment. It is already believed to be the largest in the Missouri Valley Football Conference by a significant margin.'

Add a few more things to SU and Chapo won't have anything to complain about. New Conference new BB coach. New Stadium. World Class Entertainment Complex on Campus. Dome the Campus. Bring in 10000 International Students. More to do than I thought. Go Chapo Go.


With alot of Universities having to make cuts SU is in Elite company.
People stepping up.

Willy Wonka quote went something like this.
You know what happened to the man who suddenly had everything. He lived happily ever after.

Chapo are you Veruca Salt
The amount of money in Fargo & SU
is amazing. Now Schlorships. UND can't build a softball diamond. It sure looks like SU is ready to make that move.
How much do you want for that goose?
Name your price.

I want the whole world.
She throws the world up in the air.
It's hers. She doesn't share.

She has the power to stop money.
And the power to create money.

Looks like NDSU is finally asking for a new Engineering building. Long overdue

Thanks for posting Road. I would imagine this is pretty impressive relative to MVFC/Summit teams. I wonder about the MWC schools.
