The Kresge Challenge

KresgeIn 2006, the Kresge Foundation challenged LMU to raise the remaining $10 million of the $55 million needed to build the William H. Hannon Library by May 31, 2008. New donor gifts of any size will help us meet this challenge as we are also expected to increase alumni participation from 13 to 15%. You participation of any gift will help us meet our goals. If we meet our goals, the Kresge Foundation will award LMU $1 million towards the construction of the new library. We have currently raised $46.59 million towards the $55 million needed to build the library. We need your support to raise the additional $8.40 million required to meet the Challenge. You can donate now and help us meet the Kresge Challenge.
