91制片厂

The 91制片厂 closed its FY14 fundraising year ending on June 30, raising an all-time record of $49.2 million in private support. Nearly 20,000 donors made gifts to 91制片厂. This year鈥檚 results are more than 35 percent above last year鈥檚 all-time record of $35.8 million.

鈥淭he unwavering commitment of 91制片厂鈥檚 alumni and friends moves our great university forward, year after year,鈥� said 91制片厂 President Mark Huddleston. 鈥淥ur donors are investing generously and enthusiastically in the success of current and future students and faculty members. They are helping to transform the university and our state right before our eyes.鈥�

Last September, the university announced a $20 million gift from Emmy-winning producer Marcy Carsey 鈥�66. The gift was the fiscal year鈥檚 largest, establishing the new Carsey School of Public Policy opening this fall. The Carsey School is focused on providing graduate-level education that equips policy-makers to use research from a variety of disciplines to focus on complex 21st century issues.

Other leadership donations this past fiscal year include $1 million from J. Morgan Rutman 鈥�84 and his wife Tara to support a number of strategic initiatives, a $1 million endowed scholarship fund for New Hampshire students from Michael Pilot 鈥�84 and his wife Yvonne Tuberty Pilot 鈥�84, and a $1.3 million gift from Josephine Lamprey to establish a professorship in climate and sustainability.

Lamprey鈥檚 hope is that her gift will take 91制片厂鈥檚 nationally recognized work in sustainability beyond incubation. 鈥淲e need to begin modeling solutions on a scale where people can see a difference 鈥� not to simply sustain the good life we have, but to dig deeper 鈥� to protect and preserve the good life.鈥�

News of the year鈥檚 fundraising success comes shortly after 91制片厂 announced a record-setting incoming class of nearly 3,400 first year students for the fall. 鈥淥ur students provide inspiration for so many of our alumni and friends who direct their philanthropy towards keeping the 91制片厂 experience special and of the highest quality,鈥� said Debbie Dutton, president of the 91制片厂 Foundation and vice president for advancement. 鈥淩aising close to $50 million is a resounding vote of confidence in 91制片厂 and sends a loud and clear message that our institution is worthy of significant investment.鈥�
