University of Arizona fundraising campaign exceeds goal by $90 million
The University of Arizona Foundation's fundraising campaign has exceeded its goal by $90 million.
Arizona NOW campaign started in 2010, though it launched publicly in 2014, and reached its goal of $1.5 billion in November 2016, two years ahead of its eight-year schedule. Between then and Dec. 31, the campaign raised an additional $90 million.
Private support is essential in maintaining a competitive edge and being financially sound, John-Paul Roczniak, UA Foundation's CEO, said in a news release.
The campaign, which UA officials say was the biggest, most comprehensive fundraising drive in the university's history, said Barry Benson, senior vice president of campaigns at UA foundation. "Campaign is over, but the important work of raising scholarships for students and faculty continues on."
