The NMU Foundation—the official gift-receiving agency of Northern Michigan University—provides guidance on how donors, alumni, and friends of the University can help to meet the ongoing needs of students.
Through various giving opportunities like research, scholarships, academics and programming, and the Northern Fund, the NMU Foundation supports students by providing access to an affordable and excellent education while also supporting the university. The Northern Fund supports the university in three critical ways:
1. Enhancing academic excellence and the student experience by upgrading facilities, tools, and technology
2. Taking advantage of student and faculty opportunities as they arise (including funds for travel, scholarships, and internships)
3. Meeting priority objectives like expanding research, programming, and facilities
Brad Canale, CEO of the NMU Foundation, is on the InvestUP Board of Directors.
