Mayo Clinic Beats Time and Money Targets in First Major Campaign
January 27, 2010
Minnesota’s Mayo Clinic on Tuesday reported collecting $1.35-billion in its first sustained philanthropy campaign for operating costs, the Star Tribune reports.
The famed medical center started the campaign in 2005 with a goal of raising $1.25-billion in seven years. While Mayo had previously sought donations from benefactors and former patients for new buildings, the current campaign was its first aimed at raising money for care, research, and education programs.
