All-time high in ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ fundraising

ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ continues gaining momentum in fundraising by reaching $113.1 million in FY 19 for the highest year recorded for our institution. For FY 19, contributions from first-time major gift donors, generous deferred gifts, and loyal annual support, led ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ to achieve this new milestone.  ÌýÌýÌýÌý

The giving year also indicates more success for the ongoing Infinite Impact capital campaign, the largest fundraising drive in ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ history. Six of the top consecutive years in private gifts and pledges for our university have occurred during the campaign, and the results have strengthened the overall ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ endowment.   ÌýÌý

Infinite Impact counting that began quietly in mid-2010 has reached more than $965.5 million. And our minimum goal of $1 billion edges one step closer each day, in part because of the tremendous work of dedicated ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ administrators, talented faculty and loyal staff.   ÌýÌý

New gifts and endowment growth during FY 19 ushered in yet another benefit for ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ. The combination of outright gifts and income from previous endowments will translate into more funds available to beneficiaries. Additionally, ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ's annual giving program, which benefits areas across campus, amassed in excess of $2 million for the first time.   ÌýÌý

ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ and the ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ Foundation have worked collectively to make Infinite Impact successful. Moving forward, we will continue our cohesive efforts to ensure the institution is well-positioned for the future. The entire ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ community can assist us as we reach for higher standards and proudly share the news of our university's impressive everyday accomplishments and impactful successes with alumni and friends.
