Georgian’s donors are the best donors . . .
Georgian College donors contributed almost $9-million in financial gifts from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011. This generosity has had a major impact on our students’ ability to succeed through more awards and scholarships, leading-edge campus expansions and improvements and gifts-in-kind which include new technologies, tools and more. Georgian is extremely grateful to every individual, company and association for this support. Find out who supports Georgian.
Here are some of the key ways that funds raised through Georgian’s $25-million Power of Education campaign are making a positive impact:
- Three major building additions, including the recently opened Sadlon Centre for Health and Wellness and John Di Poce South Georgian Bay Campus (September 2011) and the Centre for Sustainable Technologies addition (September 2009)
- A campaign goal to raise $3 million for awards and scholarships was not only met, it was exceeded. Georgian distributed more than 930 scholarships last year. Hundreds of students have been able to make their dreams for post-secondary education a reality because our donors believed in them.
- There was a notable increase in the number of endowment funds established which will benefit generations of students to come.
- Funds were also used for continued campus improvements to the Robbert Hartog Midland Campus, the Muskoka Campus, and for the state-of-the-art Great Lakes International Marine Training and Research Centre at the Owen Sound Campus.
