IUPUI set a record for fundraising at a public university in Indiana by announcing that it had raised $1.039 billion during its Campaign for IUPUI. To date, only 22 other universities nationwide have achieved this. IU President Adam W. Herbert said the effort has put IUPUI in an elite league of fund-raisers that includes Columbia, Harvard, Johns Hopkins and Yale.

The 7-year campaign was concluded on June 30, 2004, and the total was announced at a press conference on August 26 by IU President Herbert, IUPUI Chancellor Charles Bantz, IU Foundation President Curt Simic, and volunteer Campaign co-chair Steve Stitle, President and CEO of National City Bank.

Money from the campaign will go toward $36.2 million in student scholarships, 83 new endowed faculty positions, a new law school building, several major medical facilities, three new research centers in neuroscience, leadership, and faith and giving, and a new home on campus for the Herron School of Art.
