A five-year fundraising drive paid off for Stanford University, which raised $6.2 billion–the most money ever raised by a university during a donor campaign:

The money is providing funding for more than 160 endowed faculty positions, 360 graduate student fellowships, the construction or renovation of 38 campus buildings, $27 million in seed grants for innovative research and more than $250 million for need-based undergraduate scholarships.
