University of Montana gets largest donation in history for College of Forestry and Conservation
The University of Montana may soon receive its largest donation ever – a $24 million pledge for the College of Forestry and Conservation and the Global Leadership Initiative – from airline magnate and investor Bill Franke and his family.
Both programs would be renamed in honor of the Franke family.
"This will become the largest single gift ever received by the University of Montana, pending Montana University System Board of Regents approval," UM President Royce Engstrom said in a memo released Tuesday.
