FSU Major Gifts History (Updated)





$100 Million
Jim and Jan Moran


"The $100 million pledge includes $80 million over 20 years, or $4 million a year, and a $20 million charitable bequest, administrators said.
FSU officials said that they think it's the largest private donation ever to a public university in Florida and that it matches the largest ever to any university in the state. "
"Moran first gave nearly $2 million to FSU in 1995 toward what is now The Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship.
Jan Moran (and deceased husband Jim) gave multiple six and seven figure gifts


 

$25 Million
DeVoe Moore

$25 Million (but heard varying amounts on this) mixed donation on academics and athletics



"For perspective, consider that DeVoe Moore, an entrepreneur, gave a $25 million gift[​IMG] that will support academics and athletics."


"14. DeVOE MOORE--$5 million to the FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY from this Tallahassee businessman and alumnus to create the DeVoe Moore Center for the Study of Critical Issues in Government. The gift will pay for two professorships, an endowed chair, and student scholarships. Moore said, "It is my wish that this endowment be used to educate students in the area of government regulations and how these regulations affect private enterprise. It is very difficult for young people to start their own businesses as I have done because of the intrusion of government, particularly at the local level."" 

"DeVoe gave what was announced as $25 million to fund scholarships (primarily athletic) in 2005, plus at least one other major gift of $5 million to endow the DeVoe Moore Center in Social Sciences."

 

$20 Million
Al Dunlap

$5 Million for practice facility and Student Success Center


"The Dunlaps, who gave FSU a $10 million gift in 2007 to build a student success center and $5 million in 2012 as the lead donors for the football team’s Indoor Practice Facility, were recently considering a proposal to make another $5 million donation to Seminole Boosters, Inc.

"The approval of the Albert J. and Judith A. Dunlap Champions Club follows the couple’s $5 million pledge toward the project to Seminole Boosters last November. It will be paid out in five years.
That gift means the Dunlaps have been credited with contributing $20 million to the FSU since 2007."

"In 2008, FSU named its new Student Success Center in honor of the Dunlaps, who contributed $5 million toward the project. That money was matched by the state, so FSU credits the couple with a $10 million donation.
The indoor athletic facility on campus was named the Albert J. Dunlap Athletic Training Facility, following another $5 million donation. His name also is on the Al Dunlap Football Practice Fields."
