Annual Report 2008-09

Two new giving records

KU Endowment

Even in shaky economic times, the faith of donors to KU Endowment appears to be unshakable. During FY09, a record number of donors — 45,186 — gave a record total $106.4 million. That amount represents a 13 percent increase over last year, itself a record year at $94 million.

The increase in contributions was primarily attributable to giving in support of initiatives in life sciences research and in cancer treatment and prevention.
