Creating a Better Way of Life with NDSU

Gate City Bank is proud to have a unique, longstanding partnership with North Dakota State University (NDSU). Through our support of Bison athletics, academia, unique financing agreements, student facilities and more, we’re proud to stand behind the Bison.

Backing the Bison.

By partnering with NDSU, we’re helping to keep talented young professionals in the region and create strong, vibrant and generous communities. See all the ways we’ve helped the university thrive:

  • Aldevron Tower

    We donated $2.5 million through low-interest financing toward NDSU’s Aldevron Tower, a state-of-the-art research facility designed to help address the critical need for health care professionals, both regionally and nationally.

  • Barry Hall and Gate City Bank Auditorium

    We’re proud to have participated in remodeling these facilities, and we work with NDSU to keep them continually fresh and innovative.

  • New Police Helmets

    It’s important to protect those who protect us, which is why we supported campus police by investing in bullet-resistant helmets to help keep them safe.

  • NDSU Practice Field

    Through unique financing agreements valued at more than $4.1 million, we helped support the construction of the new Nodak Insurance Company Football Performance Complex.

  • Gate City Bank Fueling Station

    We’ve invested in NDSU student-athletes with the creation of a fueling station at the Sanford Health Athletic Complex (SHAC), where the athletes can get nutritional advice and all the ingredients needed to keep them performing at their best.

  • Academia

    Our commitment to NDSU’s students, faculty and staff involves scholarships, internships and sponsorships. We’ve especially been a valuable partner in supporting international student programs.

  • My School Spirit Card

    Through this initiative, we offer debit cards customized with NDSU’s iconic mascot. With each order of the NDSU My School Spirit Card, we donate $10 to the university. (We’ve donated more than $100,000 to NDSU with this program thus far.)

  • NDSU Foundation

    After receiving the Partner in Excellence Award in 2020 from the NDSU Foundation, the 2021 Evening of Distinction event proved yet another opportunity to receive the distinguished Partner in Excellence Award, which is aimed to recognize a corporation, foundation, or organization that has given significant support as well as demonstrated inspirational philanthropic giving in the university.

  • Gate City Bank Field

    Home of NDSU Bison football, Gate City Bank Field plays a vital role in the development of the football program’s venue and fan experience. We’re proud to have brought our presence to Gate City Bank Field at the Fargodome before the legendary FCS Division I football dynasty became such a dominant force.
