Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, Northwestern is excited to announce the first-ever NU Cross Country & Track Endowed Fund. This fund will provide a sustainable source of revenue for cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track while providing student-athletes with a complete academic and athletic experience at Northwestern.

This first-of-its-kind endowment will provide an annual payout of roughly 5% to support the program's student-athletes as they now compete in three championship seasons. The endowment could also be used in full should the program embark on future capital projects, such as building an outdoor track on campus.
