    LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Student scholarships, groundbreaking research and new facilities are just a few of the positive benefits that have come out of the University of Louisville’s record-breaking fundraising in 2012-13. Private donors gave UofL $162 million, an 11.8 percent increase over the previous year and the second year in a row where private giving exceeded state funding as a source of revenue for UofL.

    “This extraordinary, record fundraising year not only looks great on paper, it looks even better when you hear the stories from students, faculty and other Kentuckians whose lives have been directly touched by donors’ generosity and their dollars,” said UofL President James Ramsey.
