The 2011 Mercy College of Ohio Annual Campaign conducted from mid-November through December 31, 2011, resulted in a significant increase in total dollars collected as well as in the number of donors.
The staff of the Mercy College Advancement Office is pleased to share these facts:
Overall donations from individuals and corporations for the 2011 calendar year totaled $130,370.14. This was a 12.9% increase over 2010. The number of donors increased from 350 to 488, a 39% increase.
During this year, we submitted 23 grant proposals. Thirteen (13) were approved with appropriations totaling $98,000. Five (5) were denied; one (1) never responded; three (3) agencies pulled funding after the grant applications were submitted; one (1) is still pending.
There were no federal or state appropriations awarded to Mercy College in 2011.
