Humber Surpasses Unlimited Campaign Fundraising Goal

Dear Humber staff and faculty, 

It was great to see so many of you at the President’s BBQ today. For those who were unable to attend, I wanted to share some exciting news.  

At the beginning of the week, we announced a transformational gift of $5-million from the Longo Family Foundation to support the newly renamed Longo Faculty of Business and the Longo Centre for Entrepreneurship. 

The gift will pave the way for a new generation of entrepreneurs, drive economic growth and build up communities. It is the first time in Humber College's history that a Faculty has been named. 

We are honoured to receive such generous support from the Longo family. 

I am thrilled to let you know that with this gift, Humber's Unlimited Campaign has surpassed its $50-million fundraising goal. What an amazing milestone for the college!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank every one of you who supported the campaign, whether through making a personal donation, assisting with fundraising, or by being a champion for Humber and spreading the word about Unlimited. We couldn’t have done it without you. 

Thank you to the Advancement and Alumni department for all their tireless work in meeting and exceeding our campaign goal, Humber’s executive team for their continued support, our academic and administrative leaders, the Board of Governors and the Campaign Cabinet members who helped in identifying prospects, developing strategies, utilizing their experience and networks to further our goals. 

Congratulations to all of us for achieving this milestone together.
