Collection Endowments

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. 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.
