ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ will begin its third century in a position of strength, thanks to the generosity of its worldwide community of alumni, parents, and friends.
During the Bicentennial 2019 fiscal year, 13,456 alumni made gifts to the University — the third highest rate of giving in ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ history, continuing a trend that has seen alumni participation rise 12 percent in the last decade. Meanwhile, 37 percent of parents gave to ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ.
These gifts and new commitments combined to produce the highest fundraising total in the last decade: $81.58 million. More than 90 percent was contributed by more than 4,000 Presidents’ Club members.
As unrestricted giving to institutions across the country is in decline, gifts to the ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ Fund set an all-time record of $8.1 million, a 35-percent increase since Fiscal Year 2015.
