Huskies United 2024 has ended, but you can still make your gift here.
The Northern Fund
In Flexibility, There Is Strength

Through gifts to the Northern Fund, savvy donors provide flexible, unrestricted support that allows the NIU Foundation to seize emerging opportunities and plan with confidence as we continue to meet the demands of our rapidly changing environment.

Northern Fund gifts position NIU to respond to amazing opportunities as they emerge, which allows us to address urgent challenges and work to make the world a better place for us all.

Help NIU students turn opportunity into success by making a gift to the Northern Fund during Huskies United.
