A Boundless Milestone
Thanks to an outpouring of support, Boundless: The Campaign for the University of Toronto has raised more than $1.3 billion towards its historic $2-billion goal. This success and momentum is a testament to the commitment and passion of our students, faculty, alumni, volunteers and donors. Without this generosity, U of T would be a very different — and far lesser — place. Thousands of students, many of whom are the first in their family to attend university, are benefitting from scholarships and fellowships. Endowed chairs and professorships are enabling important discoveries. Exciting capital projects are creating new spaces for research, study and collaboration. Supporters across the globe are reconnecting
with U of T to address the issues they care about. Philanthropy is moving us forward at a time when government funding is constrained and there is vigorous competition for the best students and faculty. The support of donors makes it possible to broaden access, pursue excellence and compete on the global stage. Our students and faculty are grateful for this opportunity. While our campaign has more milestones ahead, we are energized by our community’s shared belief in U of T’s future. Together, we are preparing the next generation of leaders for the complex challenges of our time, and laying the foundation for a better world.

Looking Ahead
The eminently quotable Marshall McLuhan observed: “There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are all crew.” Each of us contributes to the success of our community, our nation and our planet. Boundless reflects the leadership and impact of our community to address global challenges and drive meaningful change. The University of Toronto is making a difference. Our faculty and students are contributing to discoveries and innovations that are creating a better future for
Ontario and the world. Our alumni occupy leadership roles across every continent and in every conceivable field. Year after year, we stand among the world’s best universities. Our donors, alumni and volunteers help make this possible. While there is still much to achieve, we are grateful for the support we have received to date and have never been more optimistic about the future. On behalf of the University, we would like to thank everyone who has given so generously to our cause. The impact will be felt today and for generations to come.
