Survey results from the Council for Aid to Education suggest the school’s fundraising arm took in close to $14 million in 2015, which is number one among U.S. community college systems for the seventh year in a row.
Ivy Tech says the foundation has raised more than $180 million over the last 10 years. Annual enrollment is north of 170,000.
Ivy Tech Foundation President John Murphy says "we are grateful and humbled by the efforts our donors have made this last year. In these economic times, donations are what allow Ivy Tech Community College to continue to serve Indiana as the state’s largest college, impacting countless lives daily. Though we are pleased to gain national recognition, we have much that remains to be done and we will continue to pursue our ambitious initiatives and goals related to our financial standing for the coming year."
