You Make Us Great

Gifts from alumni and friends fill a critical funding niche in helping the University achieve the level of quality expected of the state’s premier research university. Donors may designate gifts of any size to the campus, department or program they wish to support.

The School of Music could use your support to meet needs that are critical to its future success. Your gift can make an immediate impact on our ability to establish student scholarships, strengthen the conducting program, provide new uniforms for the University of Minnesota Marching Band, and more!

We recommend considering membership in the Friends of the School of Music as a way for annual donors to receive additional benefits as a result of their contributions.
