UM on track to set fundraising record
The Associated Press | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 11 years AGO
MISSOULA — University of Montana officials expect to break the school’s fundraising record during the current fiscal year that ends June 30.
The university already has raised $36.2 million. The record is $36.9 million set in 2009.
Beth Hammock of the UM Foundation, the university’s funding arm, says it’s almost certain the record will be broken.
The most recent gift was $5 million from an anonymous donor for scholarships.
The school launched a drive in July called the Invest in Student Success Initiative with a goal of raising $45 million in three years for scholarships.
The program has brought in more than $20 million in the first nine months.
