Collection Endowments at The University of Montana's Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library
The Collection Endowment Initiative invites you to consider a gift to The University of Montana's Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library that will provide critically needed funds to acquire, preserve, and make accessible library materials in a particular subject area of interest to you. Collection endowments begin at $25,000 and the Library invites donors to make a single gift or to build an endowed fund over several years. Special bookplates reflecting the interests of the philanthropist are designed in consultation with the donor and affixed to each item added to our collections that was made possible by his or her generosity.
For more information about establishing a collection endowment or to request a printed catalog of existing endowments, please contact Frankie McBurney, Development Officer, by phone 406.243.5674 or 406.443.6004 or by e-mail at frankie.mcburney@mso.umt.edu. Ms. McBurney is located in the Mansfield Library, MLIB 346.
