Comprehensive Campaign Transforms University

When the John Victor Machuga Foundation agreed to donate $1 million to William Paterson University in 1999, it marked a watershed in the University's history. The gift—the first $1 million donation in the history of the institution—became the impetus for William Paterson's inaugural comprehensive campaign. That campaign, Affecting Lives, Shaping Worlds—which focused on the institution's ability to teach, nurture, and affect the lives of the University's students—reached its highly successful conclusion on June 30, 2006, exceeding its goal in raising more than $40 million.


The campaign's impact has been felt across the University, transforming academic programs and facilities and providing funds for scholarships and programming that directly impacts students. Overall, the campaign raised $12 million for capital projects, $12 million for academic programs, $8 million for scholarships, $2 million for campus activities, $3.5 million in unrestricted gifts, and $700,000 for a range of other initiatives.

Each and every gift combined to produce a powerful campaign with a tangible effect on the lives of our students. Each gift is an investment in the future of our students. Philanthropy makes dreams come true for the beneficiaries, and also for the donors.
