The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) had more donors than any other college at the University of Minnesota in fiscal year 2018, which ended June 30. A total of 4,558 donors made 9,252 gifts—both of which are College records. The College’s donor community contributed $10,719,917 in the past year, the CVM’s second-highest yearly fundraising total. Of that total, over $6 million were planned gifts—meaning donors are investing in the future of the College.
With these latest gifts, the CVM has now raised $55 million since 2012. That’s 79% of the CVM’s 10-year goal to raise $70 million. The College has three years to raise the remainder. This is part of the University’s $4 billion campaign, Driven.
