Established in 1968 as the Northstar State University Foundation, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Foundation was created to address the increasing need for private support. Today, the Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves as an integral partner with institutional foundations to advocate for the system and to raise and distribute funds for the benefit of students, faculty, staff, programs and communities.
