‘Next, Now’ Campaign an Historic Success
|
GENEROSITY OF DONORS CREATES OPPORTUNITY THROUGHOUT BEARCATS FAMILY
|
The University of Cincinnati Foundation recently announced the completion of its Next, Now Campaign, and as with most major achievements, its success is a complete team effort. Through our partnership with the alumni family and others in the UC community, we realized $2.19 billion in private support to benefit the University of Cincinnati and UC Health over the last decade. That figure was raised from 165,378 unique donors representing all 50 states and 49 countries.
Impressive as those figures are, the impact of those gifts is the real success story. The lengthy list of new and enhanced opportunities at UC and UC Health includes:
- New scholarship programs that will allow even more promising students to receive a great UC education.
- Breakthroughs in the ways we can heal disease and support patient recovery.
- Hope for the wrongly convicted through the Ohio Innocence Project.
- Powering our UC Athletics programs into a new championship era in the Big 12.
I invite you to take a few moments to explore the impact of these highlights and much more at foundation.uc.edu.
Something special is happening here, and it’s because of your generosity. Whatever cause or project you may have supported during the campaign and however you continue to engage with your alma mater, you are making a big difference.
On behalf of the University of Cincinnati and UC Health, thank you.
