WKU announces record fiscal year in philanthropy - 2017-18 More than $45 million in private support in 2017-2018. "At no time in history has private support been more important, and we anticipate another excellent year of philanthropy ahead with the launch of WKU's new strategic plan" - JOHN PAUL BLAIR Click on headline for full story with graphic From John Paul Blair Interim Vice President for Philanthropy & Alumni Engagement WKU surpassed its previous record of private support in a fiscal year with a new high of $45 million in private support in 2017-2018. This total includes gifts from more than 14,000 donors from all 50 states and eight countries who made more than 31,000 individual gifts. Donors direct how their philanthropy is allocated, and 786 different initiatives received support that benefited students, faculty and staff. "Private funding from alumni, friends, community partners, and national and international organizations is core to WKU's ability to advance and transform the lives of its students," said WKU President Timothy C. Caboni. "These gifts clearly demonstrate the WKU spirit of giving and are more important now than ever before." The 2017-2018 fiscal year total represents a 23.9 percent increase in private support over last year's recording-breaking total of $36.3 million. The total includes outright gifts, newly documented pledges and deferred gifts. Of the record total, $32.1 million in current gifts is a 39 percent increase over the previous high. "WKU students, faculty and staff are grateful to those who invested in the future of our community and beyond through record levels of philanthropic support," said John Paul Blair, Interim Vice President for Philanthropy & Alumni Engagement. "At no time in history has private support been more important, and we anticipate another excellent year of philanthropy ahead with the launch of WKU's new strategic plan." In addition to setting an all-time high, the University experienced record giving levels from alumni, corporations and faculty and staff. With more than $1.1 million, faculty and staff giving increased 94 percent from the previous fiscal year. The 2017-2018 total also represents the second highest level ever given toward WKU's endowment, with $7.1 million. For more information, please contact John Paul Blair at 270-745-6208.
