By Tom Wilson Major Gifts Guru

$70 million in 2 months to at least 12 colleges – an anonymous donor and all the colleges have women presidents. Lisa W. Foderaro reported this story in The New York Times noting this generosity to Binghamton University (NY), Montclair State University (NJ), University of Southern Mississippi, Michigan State University, Kalamazoo College (MI), Purdue University (IN), University of North Carolina Asheville, University of Maryland University College, and others in Iowa and Colorado.

Nobody knows who is being so generous: One note on a bank's stationary.

"It is hoped this will make a substantial difference to your students during these challenging times enabling a more confident, sharper focus on their studies with improved career and life prospects."
