UI Donations Reach New High

For the second consecutive year, private donations to the University of Idaho have reached an all-time high, with gifts and pledges totaling more than $28 million.

More than 17,000 donations in the fiscal year that ended June 30 raised $28,126,348. The money is a 22 percent increase over last year’s record of $22,053,858.

The school also beat its own record of the number of gifts of $1 million or more, with seven such gifts in fiscal year 2000.

Nearly $9 million of the $28 million was designated for endowments and trusts.
