DayOne 2024

At the Montana Tech Foundation, we recognize a special obligation to the youth of Butte. It's our goal to put more of the city's sons and daughters on the path to a college degree and a bright future. Many of these young men and women will be the first in their families to attend college. We want to give them the chance to BE THE FIRST! They have what it takes to succeed, mirroring the qualities that make Butte itself such a special place: strong family values, a tireless work ethic, a purposeful, goal-oriented outlook, and a knack for getting things done.

As part of this year's DayOne, we are asking you to consider donating to the Butte Endowed Scholarship and help advance Butte students and our community at large. Raising funds for the Butte Endowed Scholarship will allow Montana Technological University to expand local recruitment efforts and raise our profile as a first-choice university. It will also provide scholarships for students who otherwise could not afford to attend college. Students selected to receive the Butte Endowed Scholarship will be awarded a full scholarship to allow them to focus on their education. 

The ultimate goal is to establish a $2.5 million endowment that will positively impact students in Butte for years to come. We are grateful for several leadership gifts that have put us on the path to that goal and want to share the opportunity for you to become involved and invest in the youth of our community. 

You can be certain that an investment in the Butte Endowed Scholarship is an investment in the city's youth today and for generations to come.  

Please consider joining with the Institute of Education Opportunities today by making a gift during DayOne to the Butte Endowed Scholarship. 

During DayOne, thanks to a generous matching donation provided by the Grandy Family, each gift to the Butte Endowed Scholarship will be matched 1:1 up to $80,000.

Help us spread the word by sharing this project on social media, by email and with your friends!
