Publicly launched in fall 2019, Seattle University’s largest ever comprehensive campaign surpassed its original fundraising goal of $275 million, raising more than $301 million through the generosity of nearly 25,000 donors.

The Campaign for the Uncommon Good priorities included scholarships, the new Jim and Janet Sinegal Center for Science and Innovation and mission-related programs in community-engaged learning, global engagement, mental health support for students and more.

“The impact of this campaign is already being felt,” says Dave Sabey, campaign co-chair and president of Sabey, Inc. “We can see right now new programs, the new Sinegal Center for Science and Innovation and new students enjoying the impact and generosity of our Seattle U donors. There is more good to come as a result of this campaign and what it makes possible for Seattle U’s future.”
