Development and Alumni AffairsNew Capital Campaignmoves AGMUS forwardMargarita E. Méndez EscuderoThe Office of Development is in the final planningphase of our new AGMUS five-year CapitalCampaign. Two years ago, we completed ourfirst capital campaign, raising $20 million; and last year,we wrapped up donor’s pledge agreements. Thanksto the heartfelt generosity and ongoing support ofdonors, our accomplishments in partnership becomemore significant each year.During 2009 -2010, our partnerships helped achievefour milestones in AGMUS’ institutional development.The first is the construction of the second phase ofthe Dr. Josefina Camacho de La Nuez Museum andCenter for Humanistic Studies at Universidad delTurabo (UT). UT also inaugurated the third phase ofthe José Domingo Perez Engineering School, financedcompletely by private donations.We also marked the 15th anniversary of thePermanent Scholarship Fund, which recognizedscholarship recipients and the commitment of ourdonors to education. In the same spirit, we launchedthe first internal campaign to benefit low-incomestudents, raising nearly $90,000 and facilitating 168partial scholarships. This systemic campaign willbecome an annual fundraiser.18This year, our Development Team crafted the finalproposal and pipeline of philanthropic opportunitiesto present in the new capital campaign to thecommunity-at-large. Along with appeals for funding forscholarships, our proposal seeks community supportfor our schools and additional local education televisedprogramming. These projects will enable our universitysystem to continue its legacy in supporting meritoriousstudents in their pursuit of a university education.These projects will also foster an entrepreneurialenvironment while integrating the community-at-largein the construction of new facilities that contribute tothe arts and culture.Over the next five years, key volunteers will jointhe President’s Office of Development and Alumniin identifying and attracting financial support fromindividuals, corporations and foundations. Campaignprojects and programs will act as magnets in thisendeavor.During the silent phase of the new Capital Campaign,the Institutional Development Staff recruited campaignleaders who, in turn, will recruit their peers as volunteerfundraisers. Extensive research went into developingeffective strategies to identify potential donors for leadgifts and to develop prospect-cultivation strategies.Revised policies and procedures have strengthenedinstitutional fundraising administration and donorrecognition programs.
Before the official launch of the fundraisingcampaign, the Development and Alumni Staff willhave sought out active donors and cultivated newprospects. That particular endeavor will lead up to the“nucleus fund,” the first major milestone of the newfive-year campaign.The Office of the President has identified our alumnias a pillar in institutional development. Staff andresources have been reassigned to work on achievingpermanent links connecting alumni with our studentbody, faculty and academic programs. The first editionof SOMOS magazine was well received by both alumniand students. Our desire to bond with our alumniand honor their professional successes was reinforcedin the emotion-filled induction annual ceremony ofselected alumni to the Distinguished Alumni Gallery.In our steady march into the future, AGMUS joinedother nonprofit organizations and the Office of theGovernor of Puerto Rico in hosting the 2009 Congresodel Tercer Sector, an educational exchange for nonprofitorganizations and federal and local governmentagencies. Held at the Puerto Rico Convention Center,the congress drew more than 2,000 participants.Finally, to recognize our Federal and State collaborators,AGMUS presented the 10th Ana G.
