With the Michigan Difference Campaign concluding next year, it seems a good time to take stock of what has been accomplished and what remains to be done. We are pleased to announce that we have exceeded the 3.5 million dollar goal that was established for CEW. In fact, we have over 3.7 million dollars in gifts and pledges. Thank you to all of our friends and donors for your strong show of support.
While we should all be proud of the accomplishments to date, there is still work to do! Two key areas are under-funded: the Graduate Student Research Fund and the Counseling & Program Fund. They are at just 63% and 34% of their respective goals.
The Graduate Student Research Fund
Goal: $400,000 Gifts & pledges to date: $250,000
The Graduate Student Research Fund – which enables UM graduate students to be part of a research team – is an essential aspect of CEW. CEW has always been a nimble, sharply focused and entrepreneurial organization where the research we conduct has immediate practical applications. This fund has been "jump started" with the generous challenge gift from Ranny Riecker (see related story and challenge details on page 1). Through the support of generous donors who have pledged a total of $100,000, and with the Riecker matching funds, we have raised a total of $250,000 in gifts and pledges. The challenge has helped us reach 63% of our goal in a matter of months. To reflect Ranny's generous contribution and challenge, this fund has been renamed the Riecker Graduate Student Research Fund.
Counseling & Programs Fund
Goal: $927,000 Gifts & pledges to date: $314,880
CEW's counseling services are central to our mission. We continue to serve a broad and diverse population through our counseling services, reaching more than 1000 participants each year. We also provide a wide array of programs– including workshops, lectures, and conferences – that focus on education, careers, and leadership. The Counseling & Programs Fund is our highest priority goal within the CEW campaign.
