Based in Fargo, North Dakota, the NDSU Foundation supports North Dakota State University by raising funds, managing donor assets, and administering privately funded resources to advance education, research, and service. It collaborates with faculty, staff, students, alumni, businesses, and the broader community to understand shared interests and align resources with the university's needs. The organization aims to improve the quality of NDSU education, research, the university experience, and athletics, while increasing the institution's visibility locally and beyond. In late 2025, the foundation announced the appointment of Dr. Michael Boland as the AgCountry Endowed Chair in Agribusiness within the Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics. Its activities emphasize collaboration with government, alumni, and industry to support advancement and economic development through planning, innovation, and entrepreneurship while maintaining donor stewardship and transparent communications.
