Mizzou set to announce record-breaking numbers on fundraising campaign

Mizzou leaders are scheduled to announce record-breaking numbers on Mizzou’s year-end goals for fundraising.

The announcement is scheduled to happen on Wednesday. “Our Time to Lead Campaign” is aimed at prioritizing student success, the university endowment and signature centers.

When it comes to endowment, the campaign says it’s important to have funds to keep the university running.

“The fiscal health of a university is measured by its endowment. A robust endowment translates to excellence year after year, regardless of fluctuations in the economy or the level of state support. In order to remain competitive in all areas, MU must raise our endowment from $820 million to more than $1 billion,” the website giving.missouri.edu said.

The announcement is scheduled to happen at 11:30 a.m.
