¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ 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 ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ history, continuing a trend that has seen alumni participation rise 12 percent in the last decade. Meanwhile, 37 percent of parents gave to ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ.
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 ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ Fund set an all-time record of $8.1 million, a 35-percent increase since Fiscal Year 2015.
