U-M Dearborn campaign raises $45 million for improvements

It's not exactly the $3.1 billion that its sister college just raised, but the University of Michigan-Dearborn raised more than $45 million in its most recent capital campaign. That amount is the most any of the university's capital campaigns have ever garnered. To achieve it, U-M Dearborn took in gifts from more than 11,000 donors, including alumni, faculty and staff and other campus supporters since 2004.

The capital campaign will help support student opportunities, strengthen academic programs and enhance the university’s partnerships. About $10 million is designated to provide scholarships to students, including the Alumni Legacy Scholarship which raised more than $500,000.

About 35 percent of $45 million came from corporate donors, such as Ford, DTE Energy and General Motors Foundation. The Ford Motor Company Fund gave more than $750,000.
