Office of News and Information - Johns Hopkins University - 901 South Bond Street, Suite 540 - Baltimore, Maryland 21231 - Phone: 443-287-9960 | Fax: 443-287-9920 The Johns Hopkins Knowledge for the World fund-raising campaign ended Dec. 31 with total commitments of $3.741 billion, creating 92 professorships, generating 550 new scholarships and graduate fellowships, and modernizing teaching, research and patient care facilities at Johns Hopkins campuses at home and around the world. The more than 250,000 donors to the eight-year campaign also enabled Johns Hopkins to launch the new Carey Business School and the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, endowed the deanship of the university's Whiting School of Engineering, added a new quadrangle to the Homewood campus, and provided millions of dollars in ongoing annual support for the work of the university and The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System. "I am amazed and gratified not just by the generosity of our supporters but also by the sheer number of people who believe so strongly in the work we do," said William R. Brody, who was president of The Johns Hopkins University throughout the campaign. "More than a quarter-million individuals and organizations from around the world gave to Johns Hopkins during the past eight years. Each gift, regardless of size, was an affirmation from our friends and alumni that Johns Hopkins is a sound investment. Each gift was a vote in support of our determination that the work we do at Johns Hopkins — in teaching, discovery and healing — will make this world a better place." "Our alumni and friends have put Johns Hopkins in position to make extraordinary discoveries and to apply our knowledge for the common good," Daniels said.
