Clemson Raises Nearly $1 Billion in Capital Campaign

After a record year of private gifts, Clemson University is closing in on its $1 billion fundraising goal for its “The Will to Lead” capital campaign. Private gifts to the university totaled $136.6 million for the 2014-15 fiscal year, bringing the multi-year campaign’s total to $934 million.

Clemson is entering the “home stretch” of its campaign, said Brian O’Rourke, associate vice president for institutional advancement. At the current pace of giving, Clemson is months away from surpassing its goal.
