In July 2006, Allegheny College completed the largest fund-raising campaign in its 191-year history, raising $115,245,902 in gifts and pledges. Launched publicly in October 2002, the Tradition & Transformation: Making a Difference campaign surpassed its goal by more than $10.2 million.

Gifts supported extensive renovations to the Henderson Campus Center, funded by several Allegheny trustees; the opening of the Tippie Alumni Center in a completely restored Cochran Hall, funded by former trustee Patricia Bush Tippie, Allegheny class of 1956, and her husband, Henry B. Tippie; and the modernization of the track and field at Robertson Athletic Complex, funded by former trustee Frank Fuhrer, class of 1948, and several other alumni and friends. Donors also established new financial aid funds and supported academic programs and technology enhanced learning spaces across campus.

Members of Allegheny's board of trustees contributed $53,638,334 to the campaign. More than 25,000 donors -- including alumni, parents, friends, corporations and foundations -- gave to the campaign. The campaign received support from 59 percent of Allegheny's graduates. Read more...
