Philanthropy Campaigns at Penn State The Campaign for Penn State (1986--90) $300 million A Grand Destiny (1996-2003) $1.371 billion For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students (2007-14) $2.188 billion
The Tradition Continues…
Our Strategy: Thematic Focused on accomplishing the strategic plan 5-year Designed to create sustained annual level of giving significantly above the last campaign
Our themes focus on how we can make our great university even greater.
Open Doors Private support can not only bring talented students from every background to Penn State—it can help them to graduate on time and on track to successful careers and lives.
Our Focus Increase retention and graduation Decrease total cost of a degree (time to degree is key) Decrease rate of borrowing (financial literacy) Decrease attrition due to finances (need-based students take longer to graduate, have lower retention rates and higher loan rates)
Create Transformative Experiences Philanthropy will provide the opportunities—in our classrooms, on our campuses, and in the larger world—that let students and faculty discover their full potential and make a difference.
Our Focus Engaged Scholarship (global experiences, undergraduate research with faculty members, internships, and service learning) Digital Innovation (World Campus, hybrid classrooms, educational technology, and innovative learning environments) Arts and Humanities (ensure these disciplines are a fundamental part of a Penn State education)
Impact the World With the visionary gifts of alumni and friends, we can tackle the world’s most pressing problems—and solve them.
Our Focus Food, Water and Energy Security (abundant, affordable and safe) Human Health (personalized health and population medicine) Economic Development and Job Creation (Invent Penn State)
