Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Dartmouth hosted its first ever #CorsairChallenge, a community crowdfunding campaign held primarily over social media. In honor of the founding year of its predecessor institutions, the campaign lasted 1,895 minutes and raised over $130,000 in support of the campus from more than 1,500 donors. Part of its success was due to a $30,000 match provided by the Alumni Association, which gave all gifts up to $50 the chance to qualify for bonus funds. The Athletics community secured over $25,000 from its supporters and the teams competed for leaderboard style for a share of extra dollars for their budgets. Everything was tracked in real time on the campaign website.
