I wondered what the other biggest gifts were, but could not find a canonical list. A good starter is the following: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/nr/2000/neuro

I wondered what the other biggest gifts were, but could not find a canonical list. A good starter is the following:
http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/nr/2000/neurogifts.html http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/nr/2000/neurogifts.html
I guess that its top 3 still hold. In addition, I found the following:
- $1b endowment to found Vedanta University from Anil Agarwal Foundation (2006)
- $454.5m to National Taiwan University from Terry Gou (2007)
- $400m to Columbia from John Kluge (4th largest in 2007)
- $360m to RPI from an anonymous donor (page mentions largest in US history in 2001)
I could not easily find the official list all of these pages refer to, anybody has an idea?
- hullo 15y agoI don't know about 'official', but it's highly likely that the Chronicle of Higher Ed/Chronicle of Philanthropy are the most referred to. Here's a list from 2008: http://chronicle.com/stats/big_gifts.htm http://chronicle.com/stats/big_gifts.htm And here's a searchable database: http://philanthropy.com/stats/topdonors/index.php http://philanthropy.com/stats/topdonors/index.php
- sb 15y agoThanks for that list, it seems to me that this is the list all of the articles refer to.
