The University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music recently announced an unprecedented opportunity to realize up to $8 million this fall to enhance students’ musical education.
A generous bequest gift by Michael McGoldrick, a long-time member of the Lamont community, will match gifts to Lamont on a one-to-one basis. Because of Mr. McGoldrick’s visionary investment, all eligible gifts made by December 12, up to a total of $4 million, will have double the impact of their original amount in the Lamont area of the donor’s choice.
“Lamont is honored to receive this generous opportunity from Michael for a transformative gift," says Keith Ward, director of the Lamont School of Music. "His unfailing belief in our program and its students, his service as President of the Lamont Society Council, and his commitment to the arts as part of a global community have already left an indelible mark on Lamont. This matching gift promises to support new and expanded opportunities for our students across the curriculum. We are deeply grateful for his philanthropy."
“Students are the heart and soul of Lamont School of Music, and thanks to Michael McGoldrick, we have an extraordinary opportunity to enhance their educational experiences,” says Rhonda M. Gonzales, dean of the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences. “Lamont will only receive matching dollars for the total amount we raise during the campaign. With the Lamont community’s support in the next few months, we can truly transform our students’ musical education.”
