The University of Kentucky recently received the largest gift ever in the university’s nearly 160-year history.
Late University of Kentucky alum and former trustee Carol Martin “Bill” Gatton bestowed a gift of $100 million to the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment through The Bill Gatton Foundation.
The gift is contingent upon UK Board of Trustees’ approval at its June meeting.
University officials say it is not only the largest to the university in its nearly 160-year history but is also believed to be the largest to a college of agriculture in the United States.
