GREENCASTLE, Ind., Oct. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DePauw University announces the launch of Bold, Gold & You!, a $575 million fundraising campaign, the largest in its 188-year history and a defining moment for the institution's future. Carrie Melind Coquillette '82 and Ken Coquillette '82 will serve as co-chairs of the Bold, Gold & You! campaign, bringing leadership and passion to this important effort. The initiative sets an ambitious standard for advancing DePauw's educational excellence, student experience and global impact, with early fundraising success propelled by a record-setting $150 million lead gift received in 2024.
To date, the university has raised $285 million toward its $575 million goal, reflecting remarkable momentum and broad donor support for the university's strategic direction; funds raised will be invested in strengthening the university's endowment and providing resources that advance institutional priorities and student outcomes.
The Bold, Gold & You! campaign aligns with the DePauw Bold & Gold 2027 strategic plan and centers on four strategic priorities that will shape DePauw's future:
DePauw University President Dr. Lori S. White recognized the moment, "This campaign is about so much more than meeting monetary goals. At its heart, it is about changing lives, the ripple effects of DePauw graduates making a difference in communities, industries, institutions and nations across the globe," President White said.
"DePauw's campaign builds on a deep legacy of opportunity and support. Rather than simply meeting ambitious fundraising targets, this campaign aims to transform lives and create pathways for students at DePauw today and well into the future," said Greg Sissel, Chairperson of the DePauw University Board of Trustees.
