The McNeese State University Foundation is a voluntary non-profit organization of business and professional leaders.  It was incorporated in 1965 to establish scholarships for McNeese students, provide research grants for faculty, and to enhance education to ensure academic excellence.

It is a firm belief of the McNeese State University Foundation that in order to achieve excellence, friends and alumni of McNeese must join together to build a base of support.  This base must be an endowment, which is a permanent fund from which only the income is expended.

Faculty and staff can be a part of the Foundation through a monthly payroll deduction schedule.  Other donations such as cash, securities, and real estate may be made at any time.  Memorial contributions can also be made through the Foundation.  Persons with questions should contact the Foundation Office at 475-5588.
