Why Donations Matter

Prospective students on a tour near the Champ statue

Montana State University is fully committed to sustainability and accomplishes several sustainability projects per year, but some plans need a little extra support to become a reality.  Donations ensure that these dream projects are made possible and that the Office of Sustainability can continue to provide students with a sustainable school experience no matter the financial weather.
