[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\"\"Generous donors have come together to make this the most successful fundraising year in Augsburg College history. Driven largely by contributions to the campaign for the Norman and Evangeline Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion, alumni and friends gave $35,404,222<\/strong> during fiscal year 2014-15.<\/p>\n

This is the fourth year in a row in which donors have contributed more than $10 million to the College and more than doubled last year\u2019s total of $14.6 million. In addition to providing crucial funding for the transformative Hagfors Center, the philanthropy of more than 5,600 donors this year helps Augsburg attract talented students and the dedicated faculty and staff who teach and guide them.<\/p>\n

The gifts provide financial aid, building maintenance and support, and instructional and other resources that allow Augsburg to educate informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.<\/p>\n
