With approximately $2.5 million raised to date, we are close to completing a $4 million Founders Campaign, the first stage of our long-term goal to raise $15 million. The Founders Campaign is intended to provide operating support for Ashesi's formative years. Funds raised during this campaign will support financial and academic planning, information technology, library collections, scholarships, and operating expenditures. We would like to thank all the donors who have helped bring us this far. In 2001 Ashesi University Foundation raised close to $1 million in new gifts, and we hope to do even better in 2002.
