Tulane celebrates another record breaking fundraising year

“Tulane University has posted another year of record-breaking fundraising, bringing in more than $150 million and exceeding last year’s previous all-time high by almost $25 million.

A record 25,000 alumni, parents and friends, including close to 6,000 first-time donors, contributed to Tulane in the 2017-18 fiscal year, spurred on by the December launch of Only the Audacious, the most ambitious fundraising campaign in Tulane’s history.

The $1.3 billion campaign is building on the university’s tremendous momentum. It is aimed at pursuing even greater academic excellence: expanding the university’s pioneering research; increasing scholarships and financial aid to attract the best students from across the globe; and building a student experience that emphasizes innovation, firsthand research experiences and learning through civic engagement.”

Will be interesting to see how/if the tax law changes affect things. Won't be an issue for big donors, but wonder how many of those 25,000 will no longer be able to deduct their donations. December was a good time to launch the campaign.
