Community commitments
• Since June 2000, the University has made more than
$1.66 million in commitments to several community endeavors,
including $500,000 to the Princeton Regional Schools
building project; $500,000 to the construction of the new
Princeton Public Library; and $300,000 to the restoration of
Monument Drive Park in front of Borough Hall.
• During this same time frame, the University made a
significant dollar commitment to renovate the Garden Theatre
-- a University-owned, but public movie theater in Princeton
that is considered by residents and elected officials as
important to the economic vitality of downtown.
• Over the past several years, additional special
gifts have included nearly $1 million to the Medical Center
at Princeton; $100,000 to the Arts Council of Princeton;
$100,000 to open space preservation; $265,000 to the fire
and first aid squads (this includes $155,000 given this past
year to purchase a new Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad
vehicle); $50,000 to the Princeton YWCA; $30,000 to the
"Curtain Calls" New Year's Eve celebration; and $1.2 million
in cash and land for affordable housing.
