            SDSU-Archives UA 016 · Records · 1967-2023, undated

            The South Dakota State University Foundation Records document the fundraising, donor engagement, and promotional activities of the SDSU Foundation from the mid-20th century through the early 21st century. The collection includes financial statements, annual reports, campaign case statements, feasibility studies, newsletters, event invitations, donor recognition materials, and internal publications.

            Fundraising campaigns such as It Starts with State, Visions for the Future, Impact Greatness, and Return to Glory are well represented, along with fundraising efforts for specific university programs and facilities, including the Performing Arts Center, Solberg Hall, and the Pride of the Dakotas marching band. Researchers will also find a variety of materials related to alumni and donor engagement, including Foundation Focus, Honor Roll of Contributors, Fellows Update, and Stately Review. Administrative materials include Council of Trustees directories, strategic planning reports, workshop documentation, and investment performance summaries. Promotional content such as flyers, brochures, direct mail pieces, and event programs are included, as well as personal touches like holiday greetings and celebratory publications. A notable item is a historical reflection authored by Keith Jensen on the Foundation’s development at its 50-year mark.

            This collection illustrates how the SDSU Foundation has helped shape the university’s academic, physical, and cultural environment through sustained fundraising and relationship-building efforts. Scholars examining the history of institutional advancement, alumni relations, and campaign strategy will find rich documentation of changing practices and priorities over time. The materials also reflect broader regional and national trends in nonprofit management, educational funding, and the role of community support in public university development.
