The Marquette University Advancement team raised more than $117 million in new gifts and confirmed pledges in Fiscal Year 2026. This marks the fifth consecutive year Marquette University has surpassed $100 million in funds raised from the most donors in the university’s history.
“Together, our university’s dynamic culture of engagement and giving is helping to build and shape an exciting future for Marquette — one that is rooted in our Catholic, Jesuit mission and open to adapting to the world today,” said Vice President for University Advancement Tim McMahon. “Whether you made your first gift or have been a loyal supporter for decades, every gift matters. Please know how much we appreciate your generosity.”
This year, the university’s Charting Our Course tour included 13 cities, where President Ah Yun was formally introduced as Marquette’s 25th President. The tour provided first-hand opportunities to hear about his vision for Marquette’s future. In addition, the university proudly welcomed its first-ever Lovell Scholars cohort in honor of late President Michael R. Lovell.
