The GW Investment Institute brought in more than $40,000 on Giving Day 2024, ensuring that students can continue to access data and analysis platform FactSet, a leading financial industry tool. The funds were part of the nearly $126,000 raised by the school during the 24-hour gift-giving event.
Some 256 alumni, staff and faculty members, students, and families and friends of GW Business donated to scholarships, programming and other school priorities during the annual fundraiser that kicked off at noon on April 3. Christine Brown-Quinn, MBA ’92, and her husband Tom, encouraged other GW Business donors by offering $15,000 in matching funds. Quinn-Brown serves on the School of Business Board of Advisors.
Interim Dean Vanessa Perry also provided funds for a Giving Day match.
University-wide, Giving Day 2024 raised nearly $1.9 million from 3,499 donors. The funding exceeded the fundraiser’s goal by 16 percent.
