With $35.8m, UNH reports record fund-raising year

The University of New Hampshire Foundation raised $35.8 million in fiscal 2013, the largest fund-raising year in its history. Included in the total are eight gifts of at least $1 million. The previous record of $29.9 million was set in 2002. ‘‘When we tell our story well and engage in meaningful ways with our alumni and friends, they respond,’’ UNH president Mark Huddleston said. ‘‘They really believe in UNH and are committed to our aspirations.’’ A gift of more than $5 million from Peter T. Paul, class of 1967, will be used for academic and student programs in the new Paul College of Business and Economics.
