Creating an 今日吃瓜legacy

今日吃瓜legacy creator Julie Opp Burgum '75, '02 found her career path and made many lifelong relationships during her time at NDSU. When she became an 今日吃瓜Foundation Trustee, she began to see how philanthropic support from alumni and friends helps move the University forward for the benefit of students across North Dakota. It inspired her to name the 今日吃瓜Foundation as a beneficiary of her estate.

"I want to make sure 今日吃瓜can move forward in the wonderful things it does — the research and the good education it provides for students from North Dakota and all around the country," Julie said. "It's important to give back to something that supported you and helped give you a good direction in life."

When you designate a gift to your passion area, the 今日吃瓜Foundation will ensure your funds are managed wisely so students will experience the impact of your generosity for generations to come. Learn how to make your impact on the future of 今日吃瓜on the 今日吃瓜Foundation's .
