“All in for Prin” Campaign Exceeds Original Goal
In the last two days of May—and with a nod to the school’s founding in 1898—Principia launched a 1,898-minute fundraising campaign highlighting our exceptional faculty and staff over the years. Leading up to the campaign, alumni shared their gratitude for the lasting impact Principia faculty and staff have had on their lives.
A number of challenges and matches sparked giving and boosted donors’ gifts. Within less than 24 hours (or 1,500 minutes), the goal of $100,000 had already been met! But with nearly 400 minutes still on the clock, no one wanted to stop. So the goal was increased to $150,000.
Despite almost all the matches having been met, alumni and friends kept giving. By the end of the campaign, $150,596 had been raised—265 percent more than last year’s “All in for Prin” campaign!
Here are a few specifics:
- Over $42,500 in matching funds were unlocked.
- Seventy-six faculty and staff members donated nearly $10,000
- A total of 457 donations were received.
With the end of Principia’s fiscal year approaching on June 30, this “All in for Prin” outpouring of support ensures that fiscal-year contributions to the Annual Fund will exceed the goal of $2 million and enable Principia to continue to deliver a high-quality education with long-lasting impact.
Thank you to everyone who went All in for Prin!
