Campaign Summary — $175 million

The Destination Distinction campaign is essential to achieving Boise State University’s vision of serving the public as a metropolitan research university. Envisioned as a comprehensive campaign, this initiative seeks $175 million from alumni and friends in current and future gifts to support its strategic plan for facilities, students, faculty, academic programs, athletics and research.

Additionally, a goal of $10 million has been established for future bequests and expectancies. The longer-term timing of these commitments leads to them being recorded separately from other gifts given in support of the campaign.

There are gift opportunities at all levels. Every gift, large or small, is important to the success of the Destination Distinction campaign.

Creativity Wins

Creativity abounds at Boise State beyond three plays in the Fiesta Bowl. It’s at the heart of business professor Nancy Napier’s research. Boise has been recognized as a great place to live and do business, especially when creativity is involved. Nancy has examined the creative forces of local arts groups, businesses, non-profits and even the Boise State football program — and how the entire valley can plug into this creative energy. It’s part of the advantage of having a metropolitan research university in your hometown.
