Today, we announced that we have surpassed our initial financial goal of $2 billion for our ongoing fundraising campaign — a significant milestone reached more than 18 months ahead of schedule. To date, over 61,000 supporters of Make Possible: The Campaign for Carnegie Mellon University have committed more than $2.13 billion to accelerate CMU’s mission and strategic priorities in education, research and societal impact.
Additionally, we announced that the campaign would be extended by a year until June 30, 2025, to continue this impressive momentum and complete key capital projects and other initiatives, and to coincide with the anticipated 125th anniversary celebration of the founding of the university’s originating institution — the Carnegie Technical Schools — by Andrew Carnegie, whose original philanthropic gift established it.
“Carnegie Mellon was founded by an extraordinary act of philanthropy, and that spirit of giving is only stronger today as evidenced by supporters of our Make Possible campaign,” said President Farnam Jahanian. “While $2.13 billion — and counting — is a remarkable measure of the exceptional generosity of our community of supporters, even more important are the opportunities those gifts create for our research and education mission.”
