Posted May 28, 2004
IOWA CITY -- Gifts made in 2003 to the University of Iowa Foundation by employees of General Electric have been matched by the GE Foundation, UI Foundation officials announced. The GE Foundation of Fairfield, Conn., has contributed $16,373 to the UI Foundation in a dollar-for-dollar match of gifts made by GE employees. The GE matching gift is part of the UI's $1 billion comprehensive campaign, which will run through 2005 and is being conducted under the guidance of the UI Foundation. Named Good. Better. Best. Iowa: The Campaign to Advance Our Great University, the seven-year effort is raising private funds to help launch a variety of initiatives across the University, substantially increase the number of UI scholarships and endowed faculty positions, support new educational and research facilities, build the UI's endowment and fund outreach and service programs to benefit Iowans. The UI Foundation is acknowledged by the UI as a preferred channel for private contributions that benefit all areas of the university. For more information about the Good. Better. Best.
