The University of Louisville announced Thursday they received a $2 million grant from the Gheens Foundation.
This grant is the second largest gift from the foundation. Their first was a 2013 grant of $2.5 million for health-related medical research according to the press release.
Cindy Hess, the director of communications and marketing at U of L, said, “It [the grant] is technically a gift. The foundation language might call them grants, but for U of L’s purpose and for our official coding, it would be considered a gift.”
“The university is always seeking grants and donations that support our mission.
