The Campaign For Purdue

The Campaign for Purdue is Purdue University's comprehensive fundraising effort. Our goal is to raise $1.5 billion by 2007 in support of our students, faculty, programs, and facilities. The result will be the realization of the vision of the entire Purdue community, as expressed in the University's strategic plan: To be a preeminent university, advancing quality in all areas, while leading the world in the basic and applied sciences and engineering and improving society at home and abroad.

With two years remaining in the campaign, Purdue University has raised 1.2 billion and with the College of Technology portion of the campaign at $88.

College of Technology Campaign Goal - $98.5 million

  • Support for Students - $3.7 million
  • Support for Faculty - $4.8 million
  • Support for Programs/Centers - $3.5 million
  • Support for Facilities - $84 million
  • Unrestricted Gifts - $2.5 million


This historic effort will build the foundation of Purdue's successes in this century and beyond.
