CLINTON, N.Y. — Hamilton College announced that it has reached its fundraising goal of $400 million for its “Because Hamilton” campaign, with several weeks remaining before the initiative ends on June 30.
The fundraising campaign’s priorities — selected after a year-long institutional strategic-planning process with input from students, faculty, staff, and alumni — included financial aid, digital leadership, and career exploration.
The $400 million goal for the effort, launched in 2018, is more than double that of any previous fundraising campaign.
