Transcend Tomorrow Campaign Reaches $500 Million Milestone

Florida Atlantic has raised more than $500 million in its comprehensive fundraising campaign –Transcend Tomorrow: The Campaign for Florida Atlantic University – as a result of the generosity of more than 58,000 donors. Surpassing this milestone places the University at more than 80% toward its $600 million goal.

“This achievement reflects the unwavering commitment of our donors, alumni, community and friends who continue to champion Florida Atlantic’s mission to shape a brighter future,” said FAU President Stacy Volnick. “Thank you to those who made impactful gifts to the campaign, helping us drive the University forward in its pursuit of excellence.”

With the launch of the campaign, Florida Atlantic embarked on a journey to transform our tomorrow by addressing some of South Florida’s most critical needs. The University remains committed to training tomorrow’s health care professionals; seeking innovative solutions to protect the environment; and providing scholarships for student success, as well as other significant University priorities.

Fundraising made it possible for Florida Atlantic to open its doors more than 60 years ago, cultivating a strong history of giving within our vibrant community. The generosity of our visionary benefactors continues to shape Florida Atlantic’s trajectory by touching lives and galvanizing success.

“Philanthropy is the lifeblood of our institution. It fuels innovation, supports scholarships, and drives transformative change,” said David S.
