百年輔仁 百年百億
An Era for Giving, Action and Impact
Dear Colleagues, Alumni and Friends,
As the Fu Jen University Foundation looks towards the future, we have drawn inspiration from the proverb “it takes a decade to grow a tree 十年樹木, and a century to educate a generation 百年樹人.” As we now prepare to celebrate FJCU’s 100th anniversary in 2025, we invite you to join us in realizing this shared vision of sustainability and prosperity for FJCU.
During our 2018 planning meetings the board of directors approved the 百年輔仁,百年百億 setting the fundraising goal of NT10B/US$330M. Developed by the Board as a realistic action plan, and endorsed by the University Trustees, this fund launched the first endowment campaign of Fu Jen Catholic University.
Despite the pandemic, the Foundation made great strides during the early stage of the campaign. President Chiang’s HOPE campaign inspired many to step forward and donate during this challenging time. With Hope, Originality, and Progress as its inspiration, the Endowment campaign was an opportunity to unify the campus, its alumni and supporters, around shared values.
Distinguished among these early initiatives, the Cardinal Paul Yu Pin Legacy Fund was established in 2021 through the generosity of the Cardinal’s family. The establishment of the Legacy Fund marked the 60th anniversary of the founding of FJCU in Taiwan, while honoring the legacy of FJCU’s founder, strengthening the heritage of Fu Jen, and providing sustainable solutions in a broad range of programs to advance academic excellence.
It is with optimism and confidence that building on this strong foundation we are now able to announce the launch of the Centennial Endowment Fund Campaign. We extend this personal invitation to you, our FJCU Family, to join in supporting our inaugural campaign. With your participation in achieving the 百年百億 goal, we will provide the momentum needed to raise sustainable and robust resources as we move
into the next one-hundred-years for Fu Jen.
The Foundation board, the students, faculty, and administration of Fu Jen, welcome your role as FJCU Ambassadors, and in the fruitfulness of our joint efforts.
We confidently envision the blossoming of 百年百億.
Sincerely Yours,
Jimmy Yoh, President
