Campaign has record-setting year
The 2005 Bradley for Bradley faculty staff campaign has surpassed both the participation rate and dollar total goals.
Employees demonstrated their support by contributing a total of $234,722 in gifts and pledges during the campaign conducted in October. A total of 662 faculty and staff members participated in the campaign, a 69% participation rate. The goal of the campaign was $230,000 in gifts and pledges with a 63% participation rate.
Participation increased 9% increase over that achieved in 2004. The Braqdley participation rate is nearly double the national average of 35% for employee participation at other private institutions.
"We are very pleased to see growth in both contributions and contributors in our 2005 campaign. It's wonderful to see a unified "Bradley Family" and it speaks volumes to other constituent groups as we request their support as well," said Tom Hammerton, Executive Director of Development. "When our outside constituents see the strong support by Bradley employees, they are more eager to join in and support the University themselves," Hammerton said.
Seven of nineteen university divisions reached 100% participation by faculty and staff. In addition, the 1% club continues to grow each year with 72 members participating at this level.
