GCC campaign reaches $70M
GROVE CITY — Grove City College is edging closer to completing its capital campaign.
The college on Tuesday passed the $70 million mark for its $90 million Grove City Matters capital campaign.
Six objectives make up the campaign, which is the largest in the college’s history:
• $35 million for STEM Hall, the science, technology, engineering and mathematics building that opened up this year
• $30 million in scholarships
• $10 million in unrestricted funding
• $5 million for the Center for Vision and Values
• $5 million for Rathburn Hall, a Christian activities building which opened last year
• $5 million for the Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation
“We are grateful to the hundreds of alumni, friends and parents who have given generously of their treasure to support our mission, vision and values,” said college President Dick Jewell.
The campaign, which began in 2011, stands at 77 percent of its goal, with $20 million still to be raised by its formal conclusion in June 2015.
The $70 million raised to date eclipses the college’s previous high-water mark for fundraising which was just more than $68 million as part of the Change and Commitment campaign that ended in December 2006.
