Amazing, Wow! Claremont McKenna raises $1 billion...

That's probably one of the largest I've ever seen for a liberal arts college. How they did it with a whopping 1,300 (yes, 1300 students) is beyond me, it's so strange that there are just a little over 12 thousand donors, but it reached that amount. They only have about 25 faculty members too!

Good to hear of a Liberal Arts School doing well, raising money and expanding, rather than being shuttered for good and leaving students in the lurch. Maybe they could teach courses in College Administration and Fundraising. There are (were) some schools that need(ed) them.

More than 12,000 donors contributed to the campaign, representing about two-thirds of the college alumni. The median gift was $220, with 90% of all donations less than $5,000. But 89 supporters contributed more than $1 million

They also took that in over 8 years. $800 million (or $100 million per year) was the original fundraising goal.
