SCSU Foundation’s Unleash the Future Campaign Exceeds Goal 11 Months Early

(KNSI) – The St. Cloud State University Foundation has beaten its fundraising goal for its Unleash the Future Campaign nearly a year early. In April, the SCSU foundation set a fundraising goal of $32 million by the end of the year. By the start of 2022, the foundation raised $34,950,709 – nine percent over the campaign’s initial goal.

SCSU says the goal is to raise money to promote academic honors, a university of teacher-scholars who research and study in their fields, grow student success, yearly support, and expand its regional reach as well as other priorities for St. Cloud State.

“We are honored by our donor community’s response to the ‘Unleash the Future’ campaign, and we — along with faculty and staff — are thrilled to see so many of the campaign’s priorities receiving significant philanthropic support,” said Matt Andrew, Vice President of University Advancement for St. Cloud State.

The foundation’s endowment is now over $50 million. Of that amount, $16.7 million has been raised for scholarships.

“The ‘Unleash the Future’ campaign will conclude at the end of 2022, but there’s still more that we can accomplish,” Andrew said. “For anyone in our community wondering about how they can help students as we drive towards the finish line, I’d say give us a call and you’ ‘ll be amazed by the impact your gift can make.”
