Pennsylvania State University

In April 2010, The Pennsylvania State University launched the public phase of For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students initiative. With a campaign goal of $2 billion raised by 2014, For the Future is the largest fundraising effort in the University’s history. Greater scholarship support is For the Future’s leading priority.

By ensuring that every student has the opportunity to attend Penn State, irrespective of economic background, Penn State continues its great tradition of helping individuals to realize their potential. To date, the campaign has secured over $1 billion in gifts and pledges.

A History of Fundraising Campaign Success

GG+A is proud of its long history of philanthropic consulting service to Penn State. For the Future is Penn State’s third capital campaign since 1984. GG+A provided campaign counsel to Penn State’s previous two campaigns, Grand Destiny, which concluded successfully in 2003 with $1.37 billion raised toward a $1.3 billion goal, and The Campaign for Penn State, which concluded successfully in 1990 with $352 million raised toward its $300 million goal. We have also provided Penn State with an array of other services over the past 25 years, including program reviews, ongoing strategic counsel, University-wide and school-specific campaign planning studies, benchmarking, prospect screening, staff and volunteer training, and professional recruitment support.
