Blank says private fundraising dependent on state funding

University of Wisconsin’s “All Ways Forward” fundraising campaign hopes to get donors to make something happen on campus that wouldn’t happen otherwise, UW Chancellor Rebecca Blank said.

The last of the four comprehensive fundraisers of this kind, “Create the Future,” took place in 2006 and raised a total of $1.8 billion. “All Ways Forward” hopes to nearly double this amount by the end of the decade. The campaign aims to increase private support of the university in addition to the support from taxpayers, families and alumni donations gifts.
