Recently, the University announced a partnership with Land O’Lakes to donate $25 million to the [University]. Have you seen the impact of that donation on other donors?
Certainly. I mean, it has provided a great shot in the arm. It shows that we’ve got a lot of support out there, and it has given us the momentum that we’ve looked for.
Fundraising is a process, and it takes a lot of cultivation. It takes a lot of time. You don’t want to rush through it. … The Land O’Lakes [donation] was a one-day announcement, but it took several months to get to that point. Our pace has been good, and I’m pleased with how it’s been going before and after that donation from Land O’Lakes, but the effect has been good.
Can we expect another announcement in the near future?
The key right now is just to have the steady progress. We’d love to have some more announcements, but we’ll see. The prospects have been very good. The conversations have been very good with all the people out there, and we’re just seeing how it all comes together.
