Johns Hopkins recently completed the second-best fund-raising year in its history and now lies squarely on track to achieve the ambitious $2 billion goal for its Knowledge for the World campaign.

In July 2000, trustees of the university and the health system authorized the institutions to accept gifts to help build and upgrade facilities on all campuses, to strengthen endowment for student aid and faculty support, and to advance research, academic and clinical initiatives.

To date, Johns Hopkins institutions have raised more than $1.8 billion with two years left in the campaign."
