Montana Tech Board Legacy Fund - Ensuring the Legacy of the Montana Tech Foundation


For 125 years, Montana Technological University has been a place where vision meets determination, and where generations of Orediggers have built a legacy of excellence. That same spirit of foresight and commitment inspired the creation of the Montana Tech Board Legacy Fund.

The Board Legacy Fund strengthens the Montana Tech Foundation by providing endowed operating support—ensuring that the Foundation has the resources needed to advance our mission, steward philanthropy, and sustain Montana Tech’s margin of excellence well into the future. By building this fund, our Foundation Board members are leading by example, investing not only in the students and faculty of today, but also in the generations of Orediggers to come.

As we celebrate Montana Tech’s 125th anniversary, a gift to the Board Legacy Fund is a gift to the university’s future. Your support helps provide long-term stability and flexibility, empowering the Montana Tech Foundation to serve our students, engage our alumni, and drive the transformative opportunities that define an Oredigger education.

Special DayOne Match

Thanks to the generosity of Gary Kolstad, $25,000 will be unlocked for the Board Legacy Fund based on donor participation during DayOne. 

Every gift, no matter the size moves us closer to unlocking this challenge and multiplying the impact for Montana Tech.

Join us in honoring Montana Tech’s history while securing its future. Give to the Board Legacy Fund and help ensure that our Foundation continues to grow, lead, and support Montana Tech for the next 125 years and beyond.
