Investing in the Future

Our foundation oversees more than $150 million in assets and supports the College of Natural Resources through scholarships, fellowships, professorships, academic programs, research, facility and lab improvements and various student programs not typically supported through state appropriations.

Our passionate and dedicated board directors and members support students and faculty who become leaders in natural resources solutions. Their ambition to make the world a better, more efficient, more sustainable place drives the college to set big, bold goals — and to meet them.
