DayOne 2026

Some of Montana Tech’s most meaningful opportunities cannot be anticipated months in advance. A student may need urgent assistance, a program may identify an important new resource, or a partnership may create an opportunity that requires an immediate response.

The Founders Fund gives Montana Tech the flexibility to act when and where support can make the greatest difference. These adaptable resources help university leadership respond to emerging needs, invest in promising ideas, and strengthen the people and programs that move Montana Tech forward.

Turning Opportunity into Action

Gifts to the Founders Fund can support scholarships, emergency assistance, experiential learning, and student success initiatives. They can also provide resources for academic programs, laboratories, equipment, faculty innovation, and partnerships with industry.

Because the fund is not limited to one department or purpose, it allows Montana Tech to address priorities across campus and seize opportunities that might otherwise be missed. This flexibility is essential as the university prepares students to solve complex problems, serve communities, and contribute to industries that matter to Montana and the world.

DayOne 2026 Matching Opportunity

Thanks to the generosity of Jack ’73 and Leah McCarthy, all gifts to the **Founders Fund** will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $2,000.

We are deeply grateful to the alumni, friends, and partners who trust Montana Tech to put their generosity to work where it is needed most. Every gift provides the flexibility to respond, innovate, and create new possibilities for students.

Make your DayOne gift and help Montana Tech turn today’s opportunities into tomorrow’s impact.
