Another Big Gift for Big�Data - Inside Philanthropy: Fundraising Intelligence - Inside Philanthropy: A New York State university’s $100 million commitment to expand its work in data science—the emerging field that studies how we use the vast amounts of information currently being collected—just got a boost from a local grocery store chain’s family foundation. It’s the second multi-million-dollar grant to such an initiative in recent months.
The University of Rochester announced that the Wegman Family Charitable Foundation made two large donations totaling $17 million, including $10 million to benefit its Institute for Data Science and the remainder for its children’s hospital. The university is in the middle of a $1.2 billion-dollar fundraising campaign, and both centers are flagship selling points.
