About the Foundation

Robert E. White '70
Chair, Board of Trustees

Our mission statement says it all: “The St. Cloud State University Foundation exists to support and enhance SCSU’s ability to ignite students’ learning and discovery of their gifts, their passions, and their potential contributions to society.”

We provide donors with a streamlined, personalized approach to giving that allows them to effortlessly make a positive impact on St. Cloud State. Last school year we provided more than 700 scholarships to deserving students through gifts from our donors.

We understand, too, that our students do best when they are learning in a successful environment. That’s why the Foundation is raising $2.2 million to renovate Centennial Hall into a new home for the G.R. Herberger College of Business and the Center for Student Success.

Creating a strong base for future success is another important aspect of what we do. At the end of fiscal year 2007, our endowment was $18.37 million.
