Rensselaer Receives $360 Million Gift

Anonymous Donor Almost Triples Gift to the Institute


"A gift of this magnitude, offered to the university fully unrestricted, is unprecedented."
President Jackson


Rensselaer has obtained a gift of $360 million, the largest gift ever to any public or private university in the United States. In an extraordinary demonstration of support, the anonymous donor who pledged $130 million to the Institute in December 2000 now has replaced the earlier gift with one almost triple in size, and given Rensselaer complete discretion in its use.
