Universidad de Colima launches 3 million peso fundraising campaign

The Universidad de Colima has launched the third edition of its fundraising program, ‘Un Día para Donar’. The multi-week campaign aims to raise 3 million pesos to fund infrastructure improvements at the El Naranjo Campus in Manzanillo. Specifically, the funds are intended for the construction of a cover for the sports courts and a new restroom module for men and women.

During the launch event at the North Campus, Rector Christian Jorge Torres Ortiz Zermeño noted that while the goal is ambitious, previous editions have consistently exceeded their targets. The university was also recognized by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) through its ‘Lo Mejor de América Latina’ program, receiving an award for best practices in fundraising within the region. The Rector highlighted that the university is one of a very small number of public institutions in Latin America with successful experience in this type of large-scale fundraising.
