Harvard’s Capital Campaign Crosses $6 Billion Mark

Harvard has raised more than $6 billion in gifts and pledges in its capital campaign, charging still closer to its public goal of $6.5 billion, according to an email addressed to Faculty of Arts and Sciences campaign steering committee members that The Crimson obtained Sept. 17.

Its campaign also nearly has reached its $2.5 billion goal, having raised a total of $2.2 billion, according to the email.

The university-wide fundraising drive is now two years into its public phase, which launched with fanfare in September 2013. Harvard had already received $2.8 billion in gifts and pledges during its “quiet phase” at the time of the launch, and since then it has moved ahead at full steam.
