  • 2013-14 Annual Report of Private Giving
    HONORING OUR PAST, SHAPING OUR FUTURE 2013– 14 ANNUAL REPORT OF PRIVATE GIVING ALVIN “AL” MCNEILLY ’44 made gifts to the University of Maine over more than 39 consecutive years prior to his death on June 19, 2014. His lifetime giving totaled more than $800,000, including generous matches from his longtime employer, ExxonMobil. UMaine established the Loyal M Society in 2013 to recognize donors like McNeilly, whose faithful giving has made a tremendous difference to the state’s land grant university. A committed volunteer, McNeilly served as president of both the University of Maine Alumni Association and the President’s Development Council. More recently, he initiated a “class adoption program,” in which the Class of 1944 mentored the Class of 2010, sharing UMaine traditions that cross generations. “It’s hard to imagine a more loyal alumnus than Al,” says Todd Saucier, president of the University of Maine Alumni Association. “Al was very involved at UMaine as a student through his membership in Kappa Sigma, Sophomore Owls and Senior Skulls, and as treasurer and vice president of his class. His leadership was also evident in his service as captain of the baseball team. Al credited UMaine for much of his professional and personal success, and was truly one of a kind in his enthusiasm for our university.” “From our first moments on campus, Al charged us to make the most of our time at UMaine and to leave an impact on the school well after we graduated. His commitment to the university for a full 70 years as an alumnus inspires all who knew Al or were touched by his efforts.” Matt Ciampa ’10 2 0 1 3 – 1 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF PRIVATE GIVING CONTENTS Letter from President Susan J.

Thanks to you, we are able to attract and retain outstanding faculty and staff, and engage with communities throughout and well beyond our state. Without generous alumni and friends, our campus would look very different. Our grounds, research and teaching laboratories, concert and lecture halls, museums, sports facilities, and student living and learning spaces have been transformed as a result of personal generosity and thoughtfulness.

When we talk about the private support that benefi ts the University of Maine, we are really talking about the people at the University of Maine. The scholarship that enables the fi nancially burdened student to remain in school; the money necessary to send the band to a tournament game; the laboratory which sparks new ideas and collaborations; the simple $100 needed by a student to cover an unexpected emergency; the fellowship which allows a student to study in another country; the professorship which allows UMaine to reward a world-class faculty member are all the bridges that lead to the world of possibilities for students, faculty and staff at the University of Maine.

Board ChairF roandm t hPresident/CEOe The date was June 9, 1934—the height of the great depression. University President Harold Boardman called a meeting of charter members of the University of Maine Foundation where they adopted a statement of purpose and a set of bylaws. That evening, with a gift from the class of 1909, the Foundation was established. Seventy-five years later, the University of Maine Foundation manages an endowment of approximately $110 million and has assets of $149 million. Since 1975, it has paid over $75 million to support University of Maine programs, students and faculty—nearly two-thirds of that amount supporting student scholarships. The Foundation was created in 1934 during a period of financial uncertainty. Ironically, in our 75th year since incorporation, the challenges are not dissimilar. But, we are now living in a global economy.
