BGU | Fundraising Handbook

Reporting Dormitory construction will take place over a period of years, and during that time the donor will receive annual updates on the building’s progress. Depending on the nature of the other entities supported, a report or a video- or photo-based report will be provided upon completion of the project. Dedication Ceremony Gifts to name buildings and other significant named entities will be recognized at a dedication ceremony held in the presence of the donor and senior administration.

dormitories enable growth of the student population, allowing the number of students studying on each campus to continue to grow. The proposed Center for Sea Technology leverages BGU’s expertise in marine biology, sustainability, and technology, serving as a focal point for students and researchers interested in this emerging field and creating a growing community of sea tech students and scholars at the Eilat Campus. Moreover, it will contribute to the growth of a new industry that will serve as a catalyst for the advancement of the campus, the University, and the region. Realizing the Potential of the Eilat and Sde Boker Campuses BGU is striving to become Israel’s leading university in terms of research, teaching, and contribution to society and one of the world’s top research institutions. The research and teaching performed on the Sde Boker and Eilat Campuses will play an important role in the University’s ability to achieve these goals. Both research and teaching are student-focused, as educational programs are targeted at students and research is driven by students. Therefore, campus development aimed at enabling the growth of the student population on the Sde Boker and Eilat campuses is vital to fulfilling BGU’s ambitions, as well as to realizing the potential of each campus. Enlisting Support for Sde Boker and Eilat Campus Development Campus development on the two campuses will focus largely on the construction of new dormitories. Two new dormitories each are planned for both the Sde Boker Campus and the Eilat Campus. With funding for one new dormitory in Eilat already committed, we still have one new dormitory available for naming there, along with two new dormitories available for naming in Sde Boker. These are high-profile and high-impact projects, enhancing the educational experience and personal and professional development of BGU students for generations to come. A new dormitory building in Sde Boker or Eilat can be named with a donation of $5,000,000. Each dormitory provides many other naming opportunities, as individual apartments and floors can be named, along with the lobbies and common areas.
