Dear NMU alumni, family and friends,
Thanks to your generosity and unstoppable Northern spirit, we didnโt just meet our $125,000 goal — we crushed it! Your dedication to NMU resulted in something more than just reaching a number: it opened doors for our students, expanded their opportunities and pushed their learning forward.
Once again, you showed what it means to stand behind our students. North Never Wavers and neither do you.
Thank you for believing in their potential and helping create meaningful experiences that shape their future.
Sincerely,
Andy Hill
Director, Annual Giving
NMU Foundation

Thanks to YOU, we crushed our goal, matched every single challenge and saw amazing engagement all across campus and on social media!
Whether you donated, shared or cheered us on—YOU made the difference and turned April 17 into a Great Day to Be A Wildcat. #NMUGivingDay was a wild success because of this incredible Northern community.
THANK YOU!
From your Alumni and Foundation team.

Thanks to a generous gift from an incredible anonymous NMU donor, weโve officially surpassed our Giving Day goal of $125,000—a number chosen to honor 125 years of academic excellence, innovation, creativity and opportunity at NMU.
This milestone reflects the powerful impact of our donors, who continue to shape the future of learning, accessibility and student achievement with their unwavering support. Remember - North Never Waivers!
But weโre not done yet. The energy is high and momentum is strong—letโs keep it going, Wildcats. Every share and every gift (big or small) helps NMU students. ๐๐

Today is NMU Giving Day!
Right now, Wildcats everywhere are coming together to support the students, programs, departments and teams that make Northern truly one of a kind.
Nowโs your moment to Give to What You Love—whether thatโs student experiences, research, athletics or any corner of campus that holds a special place in your heart.
Your gift isnโt just a donation—itโs an investment in NMUโs future and the next generation of Wildcats.
Can we rally to raise $125,000 more in annual resources to close out NMUโs 125th Anniversary?
Last year, over 560 donors stepped up to make Giving Day unforgettable. Letโs do it again and go even bigger.
Every gift matters. Every Wildcat counts. Because at NMU, North never wavers.
