It’s impossible to measure the remarkable impact of Driven: The University of Minnesota Campaign in a single data point, or even by numbers alone. More important than the dollars raised have been the countless lives changed by the historic generosity of donors, whose gifts advance the University’s commitment to:

  • Elevate a world-class student experience
  • Accelerate advances in health
  • Provide a place of opportunity for all
  • Protect and sustain agriculture, food, and water
  • Drive a Minnesota plan for innovation

But the numbers do tell a story: how a courageous and determined community of the Driven rose to the moment, and rallied around the belief in a better tomorrow.
