New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will give $350 million to Johns Hopkins University Sunday, a donation that will bring decades of giving to his alma mater to a total of $1.1 Billion, the New York Times reports.
On Sunday, as he makes a $350 million gift to his alma mater — by far the largest in its history — the New York City mayor, along with the president of the university, will disclose the staggering sum of his donations to Johns Hopkins over the past four decades: $1.1 billion.
That figure, kept quiet even as it transformed every corner of the university, makes Mr. Bloomberg the most generous living donor to any education institution in the United States, according to university officials and philanthropic tallies.
