UNLV’s Invent the Future campaign brought in more than $17 million in its second public quarter, pushing the overall campaign total over $317 million. The university’s first comprehensive fundraising campaign was launched to the public in September, with $263 million previously raised during the “quiet” phase. The goal is to raise $500 million by the end of 2008.
UNLV President Carol C. Harter attributes this early success to the volunteers serving on more than 45 boards. “Volunteers are the heart and soul of this campaign,” said Harter. “From faculty and staff members to supporters all over the world, they are the front-line ambassadors for UNLV. They serve the university in countless ways — not just by raising funds. These are the people working hard to invent a great future for our university and our entire community, and we are extremely grateful for their efforts.”
As of March 31, the Invent the Future campaign had raised $124,395,009 in gift revenue received to date, and $192,729,103 in longer-term pledges and commitments, for a total of $317,124,112.
