Kansas University Endowment concluded its fiscal year with $258.8 million in donations, the organization announced Thursday.

The fundraising for the fiscal year, which ended in June, brought the total contributed to Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas to $1.45 billion to date, according to KU Endowment. The campaign is scheduled to conclude in June 2016.

Far Above donations have resulted in 652 new scholarships, fellowships and awards for students and created 46 endowed professorships aimed at recruiting and retaining exceptional faculty, researchers, physician-scientists and directors, according to KU Endowment.

Far Above donations also have funded several new buildings under construction now on the Lawrence campus. Those include Capitol Federal Hall (the new business school building); the DeBruce Center (which will house James Naismith’s original “Rules of Basket Ball”); McCarthy Hall (apartments for men’s basketball players and other select students); and the Earth, Energy and Environment Center (to be named Ritchie and Slawson halls).

Donations also are supporting construction of the Health Education Building at KU Medical Center and the Cambridge North Tower at KU Hospital in Kansas City, Kan.

“We’re pleased to report another outstanding year of private giving by alumni and friends,” Dale Seuferling, president of KU Endowment, said in a news release. “We applaud the donors who made this possible and their belief in those who benefit from their generosity — students, faculty, researchers, patients and entire communities.”
