New Haven’s Albertus Magnus College announced it has surpassed its $40 million centennial fundraising goal but plans to continue the campaign through September 2027 to fund additional financial aid and campus improvements.
The Forever Albertus campaign is the largest fundraising effort in the Catholic college’s history, drawing support from 2,500 donors, including 14 commitments of at least $1 million, the school announced.
Albertus Magnus, which was founded in 1925, said the campaign reached its goal as the college concluded its centennial year. However, some priorities, including student financial aid and projects to modernize campus facilities, remain to be fully funded, according to the college.
Campaign contributions and grants have supported expanded financial aid, investments in nursing, cybersecurity and other science and technology programs, renovations to the Celentano Field athletic complex, and nearly 20 new endowed funds.
Funding has also supported the Carol G. Ditkoff ’67 Immersive Learning Collaboratory and the Lindy Lee Gold Leadership Program.
The campaign’s broader priorities include strengthening the college’s endowment, supporting academic and career preparation programs, and improving campus facilities. Its public phase launched in September 2025.
Albertus Magnus said it enrolls approximately 1,400 students across its traditional undergraduate, adult undergraduate and graduate programs.
