Fundraising Campaign Goes Public

On Nov. 11, Drexel University launched the most ambitious fundraising effort in its history.

The $750 million effort is organized around the theme The Future Is a Place We Make, which reflects Drexel’s history as a proving ground for talent that can creatively address emerging societal needs. Priorities of the Campaign include endowed scholarships and faculty positions, stipends for unpaid co-ops in nonprofit sectors, interdisciplinary teaching and research, academic advising and student support services, state-of-the-art learning environments, and academically driven civic engagement.

The foundational quiet phase of the Campaign kicked off in December 2013, and has so far
generated more than $451 million from 31,000 donors — nearly as much as the University’s previous major fund drive, Dream It. Do It. That includes naming gifts for the Dana and David Dornsife School of Public Health and the Thomas R. Kline School of Law, two of the
largest gifts in Drexel history.
