President Dennison and the UM Foundation led the most successful fund-raising campaign in Montana history, raising more than $71 million in private money and exceeding the initial goal of $40 million during the University's five-year Capital Campaign -- "Ensuring a Tradition of Excellence."

All Foundation fund-raising programs have grown steadily since 1990 -- including major gifts, planned gifts and the Excellence Fund (the annual giving program).

In fiscal year 2000, the Foundation provided $8.8 million for scholarships and awards, academics and institutional support, and building projects. Nearly $1.8 million alone funded scholarships for UM students.
