Learn more about your impact
The Institute of Human Origins houses the physical materials of the Jane Goodall Institute Gombe Chimpanzee Research Archive — over 60 years of handwritten observations of wild chimpanzees in Gombe National Park. For the continued protection of these irreplaceable, priceless materials, your generous contributions help us establish a world-class secure space to include fire- and water-proof filing cabinets fitted with acid-free, archival quality folders. Your contributions will also directly support the digitization of these priceless records and database expansion, to establish a collaborative, digital platform through which research can be accessed and shared.
Impact of Donor Support
- More learners can pursue higher education. Thanks to our donors, more than 7,000 ASU students have received upwards of $32 million in scholarships with more than $39 million raised.
- More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
- Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
- The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.
I believe ASU is a major life force in our community and I want to do my part to help it thrive."
