SPECIAL SUMMER EDITION 2017

SPECIAL EDITION:
Giving to Purdue reaches all-time-high $351.9 million in 2016–17

This special edition celebrates the fiscal year that ended June 30 as the strongest year of fundraising ($351.9M) in Purdue University history. We also reached new records for donor participation and money raised for student support!

Thanks to alumni and friends’ continued enthusiasm and generosity, contributions to Ever True: The Campaign for Purdue University—which concludes June 30, 2019, during the University’s 150th anniversary year—rose to $1.514 billion toward its $2.019 billion goal.

This surge of support empowers Purdue’s commitment to higher education at the highest proven value and to the campaign’s three key priorities: Place Students First, Build on Our Strengths, and Champion Research and Innovation.

Your support is invaluable to Purdue’s success! Visit our campaign website for the latest news, additional stories of impact, and details on how to give, ways to stay connected, and how to get involved.

Hail Purdue!
