US EditionMontreal’s Concordia celebrates ‘landmark’ fundraising year amid funding challenges
- Montreal’s Concordia University is marking a milestone in fundraising, having secured over $365 million through its Next-Gen Now initiative as of September 26, 2025.
- The successful campaign surpassed its $350-million goal amid an unprecedented financial crunch the university blames on government policies and declining international student enrollment.
- University president Graham Carr cited restrictive immigration measures and the consequences of a provincial tuition increase—subsequently reversed by the Quebec Superior Court—as contributing factors to the financial challenges faced by the institution.
- Carr said today that the campaign's success “demonstrates the determination of donors” who remain eager to support Concordia’s mission despite projected year-over-year revenue declines.
- The money raised will be allocated to support financial aid, academic studies, educational activities, facility enhancements, and various other projects at Concordia University.
