Marymount Manhattan College has surpassed the $21.9 million mark of its $25 million campaign, the most ambitious fundraising initiative in the College’s history. This is the Day, the Campaign for Marymount Manhattan will substantially increase need-based student financial aid, encourage higher levels of scholarship and research, and increase the number of full-time faculty; and enhance our existing spaces to create a dynamic, yet comfortable environment for learning and growing. We are grateful to all donors whose generosity has supported our strong momentum toward reaching our campaign goal. This is the Day campaign is an extraordinary undertaking that has been supported and recognized by The Kresge Foundation, which recently awarded the College an extension to the challenge grant deadline from June 30, 2009 to March 31, 2010. To comply with Kresge’s requirements, campaign pledges must be received by that date; however, payments may extend up to five years, as long as they are received by March 31, 2015. This is the Day to show your support. CONTACT: Jean Wilhelm at
