ANNUAL REPORT <strong>of</strong> PHILANTHROPY At this time <strong>of</strong> year when Thanksgiving nears, we take stock <strong>of</strong> the gifts we have received from our generous supporters. This issue <strong>of</strong> Nexus includes our annual Report <strong>of</strong> Philanthropy and allows me the opportunity to express my thanks for your continued giving. In these tough economic times, the <strong>University</strong> is doing reasonably well when so many others are not. That is thanks in large part to support from you, our staunch alumni and friends. This past fiscal year, more than 3,500 donors made gifts to the <strong>University</strong>, totaling $4,941,461 — a record year for UNE! This generosity came from alumni, parents, faculty, staff, corporations, foundations and even our students. As the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>England</strong> continues on its path <strong>of</strong> unprecedented growth, with two new buildings recently dedicated and another one due to be completed this spring, enrollment continuing to grow, new programs and staff being hired, new research initiatives being pursued, athletics succeeding beyond expectations, and on and on, we appreciate the investment our donors have made in our future. The financial support you give ultimately benefits the reason we’re all here — our students. In this election year, I’m reminded <strong>of</strong> a quote from President John F. Kennedy, who said, “The raising <strong>of</strong> extraordinarily large sums <strong>of</strong> money, given voluntarily and freely by millions <strong>of</strong> our fellow Americans, is a unique American tradition... Philanthropy, charity, giving voluntarily and freely... call it what you like, but it is truly a jewel <strong>of</strong> an American tradition.” In that vein, I would like to thank the following people who gave lead gifts for their support: Allied/Cook Construction and the Cook family, the Betterment Fund, Dorothy Dixon WC ’41, Brian and Deborah Dallaire, Hannaford Bros. Co, the Hearst Foundation, Rosemary Kelley, the Libra Foundation, Sodexho, Maine Health Access Foundation and Peter J. Morgane, Ph.D. I also thank each and every one <strong>of</strong> you who gave to the Annual Fund. The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>England</strong>’s future continues to look bright , and in these hard economic times, philanthropy is a strong symbol <strong>of</strong> our donors’ faith in the <strong>University</strong>, our students and our mission. We appreciate this invaluable support and will work to earn your continued confidence in UNE. Danielle N.
