Editor's Notes

  1. Here you can see the amounts that donors have pledged to the U over the past ten years. This chart shows that we are generally on an upward trend. In fact, the $267 million raised in FY09 is the second largest gift total in our history – again, a tremendous outcome for the University during these very tough economic times.You will also find all of these financial figures in the printed reports that you have.
  2. Driving College and Campus Principal Gift Development forward is KEY.UMF launched an ambitious effort in FY09 to complete 26 discreet plans.Directed by Provost Sullivan to assure institutional alignment and urgency In concert with the deans, chancellors, and their development staff.We are applying a uniform planning model, to enhance quality and consistency for our decentralized organizational model.
  3. There were 83,000 people who made gifts and pledges in fiscal 2009. This is a drop of 5% compared with FY08, when 88,000 people made gifts. Given the turbulent economy during this time period, and the choices donors have, this is a testament to the loyalty of our alumni and the passion our faculty, staff and students inspire in our friends. [Breakdown of gifts is triggered to appear]Gifts to the University come from many sources. Alumni typically comprise about half of the donor base, but there are also many, many other individuals who believe in the value of the University and its work. Much of the support for medical research and care comes from non-alumni who are passionate about helping to make discoveries in health research possible, or who are grateful for the care they or their family received.[$267 Million in Gifts is triggered to appear]Together, donors in FY09 gave a total of $267 million. This compares with $289 million that was raised in the previous year – fiscal 2008. We were off just 8% in FY09, but these are two unique years both in terms of the size of gifts and the economy – again, a very positive outcome during a difficult economic period.
  4. Now we’re going to talk about how donors of FY09 designated their gifts to be used.Typically, 98% of the gifts to the U are designated as to their use by the donors. And both UMF and MMF are committed to ensuring that gifts are used as the donors intended.The largest portion of giving in most years is designated for ongoing academic program support in our departments, colleges, and campuses. Many alumni direct their giving to the college from which they graduated.In FY09, the amount given for academic programs was $72 million dollars, or 27% of the total.
  5. Student scholarships and fellowships continue to be a top fund-raising priority for the University and many donors want to help our students. In FY09, $35 million dollars, or 13% of the total, was raised for student support.
  6. Donors contributed to many important building projects in FY09. The replacement Children’s Hospital – currently under construction – was one of those. Other major building projects reflected here are TCF Bank Stadium – already a campus landmark Hanson Hall at the Carlson School. Donors gave $70 million dollars for facilities in FY09, or 26% of the total.
  7. Furthering research discoveries and making a difference for future generations at the University is something that inspires the giving for many donors. Many of the gifts made through MMF are for medical research, and in FY09 that included a commitment of $40 million dollars for research to cure type 1 diabetes -- from the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation. In all, $60 million dollars was raised for research, or 22% of the total.
  8. Gifts supporting faculty are often made in the form endowed chairs and professorships, which help to attract and retain top-tier faculty. Last year 8 new endowed faculty positions were created, for a total now of 431 at the University. We have some of the world’s most prestigious faculty here at the U, and much of that has been made possible through philanthropic support of faculty, in the form of endowed chairs and professorships. These gifts are often critical to the successful retention or recruitment of top talent to the U. In FY09, donors gave $20 million dollars to support faculty, which was 8% of the total.
