Mystery donor fuels $68 million in college gifts
Donors totaling about $68.5 million have arrived over seven weeks to multiple colleges including Purdue and Montclair State in anonymous cashlike gifts. The funds, aimed largely at financial aid, come from intermediaries with no clear donor identity. Experts speculate a women’s giving circle or a group of female leaders may be behind the effort, though some note the anonymity is unusual.
