its broader base. The challenge ahead is to sustain the loyalty of major supporters while expanding the circle of donors and accelerating the campaign’s momentum in the years to come. Clearly, numbers tell only part of the story. Thanks to gifts secured through the campaign, new construction projects are reshaping campus skylines; breakthrough research initiatives are advancing; and innovative academic programs are taking root. The campaign is not simply a fundraising effort, it is a catalyst for the transformation of an entire region. Campaign leaders agreed that 2026 must be our strongest fundraising year yet, with a bold target of securing $150 million

or more in new commitments. To reach that milestone, we must accelerate gift closures and fully leverage every opportunity to highlight the tangible impact of philanthropic support. The Paris meeting reaffirmed a shared commitment to the campaign’s vision. We recommitted to the Way Forward Campaign with renewed clarity around BGU’s ten-year strategic plan, refining the case for support

and sharpening the message: Why BGU? Why now? Especially now, in times of conflict, amid both profound challenges and historic opportunities, the answer resonates with urgency and hope. Leadership must rise up to meet the demands of this next phase. The goal is clear: 100% participation from all global board members in campaign commitments by the end of next year.

The midpoint is not a pause — it is momentum. The impact is visible. The vision is clear.
