威尼斯人娱乐城基金会有一年的捐赠记录，捐款和捐赠者都有显着增加。 This year’s donations are 35% greater than the previous record year, with gains in all areas of giving.
“We are thrilled with the level of support that we have received from the community and our alumni through donations,” said Lisa Baronio, 威尼斯人娱乐城基金会 President and 威尼斯人娱乐城 Chief Advancement Officer. “This year, we celebrate our donors who have provided contributions that totaled more than $59 million. To receive an increase in giving at this level in a year that has proved so challenging for so many people is reflective of the recognition of the great work 威尼斯人娱乐城 is doing and our staff.”
马里昂和亨利·布洛赫基金会和桑德兰基金会支持学生成功不可或缺的项目以及资本承诺，是捐赠的重要组成部分。 但个人捐赠也有所增加。
“More than 20,000 donors contributed 103,789 gifts,” said Baronio, who recently celebrated her first year at 威尼斯人娱乐城. “And we also achieved a $20,000 increase in annual giving – a small, but significant increase.”
这些捐款增加了对项目、奖学金和应急基金以及资本改善的资助。 This year the Marion and Henry Bloch Family Foundation 捐赠2100万美元 to support three initiatives: $11.8 million for programming within the Bloch School of Management; 800万美元用于改善布洛赫遗产大厅的基础设施和扩建； and $1.2 million to support RooStrong, the university’s new program for increasing student retention, six-year graduation rates and career outcomes.
“We are deeply grateful to donors who support 威尼斯人娱乐城 with gifts at any level,”
The Sunderland Foundation’s 1500万美元 gift provided significant support for capital improvements on both 威尼斯人娱乐城 campuses including $5 million for renovations to Bloch Heritage Hall, which has not received an upgrade since 1986, and $3 million for the School of Law for renovations of classrooms and student services.
In addition to major gifts, 个人支持 of more than $70,000 to the Student Emergency Fund provided funds to help students stay in school and with basic living expenses during the COVID-19 crisis.
“We are deeply grateful to donors who support 威尼斯人娱乐城 with gifts at any level,” 威尼斯人娱乐城 Chancellor Mauli Agrawal said. “We view this as strong message of confidence in the university, as well as our students, faculty and staff and an investment in future success. I commend the 威尼斯人娱乐城基金会 on their dedication and diligence in helping to generate these resources.”
