National University Receives $20M Donation

National University announced an anonymous $20 million gift for the national expansion of the Sanford Education Programs.

The gift — the largest in the university’s history — combined with a 50 percent matching contribution of $10 million from National University, raises the total amount dedicated to initiatives that support PreK-12 student learning and development to $30 million.

According to the university, the $30 million is on top of initial donations of $10 million from last year that provided seed money to establish the expansion of initiatives that are administered through the Sanford Education Center at National University.

The center’s initiatives include the Sanford Institute of Philanthropy, dedicated to increasing the fundraising capacity of nonprofits, as well as the national expansion of two education programs, Sanford Harmony and Sanford Inspire.

“We are so grateful for this historic gift, which together with previous gifts is creating a truly transformative effect for children and teachers in our schools and classrooms,” said Michael R. Cunningham, president of National University and chancellor of the National University System. “We are honored to carry out the vision of Denny Sanford, whose impact on society will last for generations.”

The $30 million is focused on two of the initiatives, the research-based Sanford Education Programs that are available at no cost to schools and districts. They are now being rapidly expanded nationally through the leadership of National University and its Sanford Education Center, the university said.
