– the president’s challenge

Case Western Reserve University’s contributors outdid themselves supporting the Forward Thinking capital campaign with a record-breaking $208 million in gifts and pledges during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

The total represents the first time in university history that annual attainment broke the $200 million mark – more than triple the figure for fiscal year 2007. Launched publicly in 2011 with a $1 billion goal, the Forward Thinking campaign has achieved annual giving records for eight consecutive years. As of Aug. 31, the campaign’s total was more than $1.7 billion. So far, we have raised $243 million in student scholarships and fellowships and 96 endowed professorships. And we are not finished. The campaign closes on Dec. 31.

An integral part of concluding the campaign is the President’s Challenge – an unprecedented initiative to inspire philanthropists to make planned gift commitments for the future and, in return, help our students earn much needed scholarships for use today. With a written gift commitment, the President’s Challenge will award scholarships now, even though the university will not receive proceeds from the gift, in most cases, for years to come.
