UNIQUELY RIT:

A Blended Campaign

Transforming RIT: The Campaign for Greatness is a different kind of campaign. It is blended because it seeks support from a multitude of investors—from our proud alumni, parents and friends—to our government and corporate partners, research foundations and agencies. In a blended campaign, investments to one initiative leverage additional contributions in related areas, so corporate, government, and private dollars work together to achieve our shared goals to greatness.
