(603) Challenge Raises $200,000
The challenge ended with Paul College reaching 617 online donors, surpassing our goal of 600. This achievement unlocked $65,000 in funding for the Internship Opportunity Fund. In addition, Paul College launched three new area challenges this year for Business in Practice (BiP), Graduate Programs and the NH Small Business Development Center. Together, these areas unlocked a combined total of $33,000 in additional underwriter funds, with BiP taking third place on the leaderboard for University Programs. Congratulations to all three programs for incredible success in each of your area challenges!
These staggering results reflect a 24% increase in donors and a 20% increase in dollars raised for Paul College programs putting Paul College in third place on the Colleges and Schools leaderboard. We could not have accomplished these results without the support and generosity from our underwriters, alumni, friends, parents, faculty, staff, and students, many of which secured matching and bonus funds throughout the challenge. Thank you for the amazing efforts to support our students. This year, #PaulPride was stronger than ever.
