On Wednesday, Carnegie Mellon University announced that hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin had donated $3 billion, the majority of which will be allocated to building a new campus in Miami focused on social challenges.

This private research university, located in Pittsburgh, announced that this donation is the largest single gift ever made to an American university.

Other donations exceeding $1 billion include the $1.8 billion that former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg gave to Johns Hopkins University in 2018, while Nike co-founder Phil Knight and his wife Penny have also been prolific donors, giving $2 billion to Oregon Health & Science University in 2025.

Griffin's donation includes $2 billion to build a new 35-acre campus in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood, located just north of downtown, and the campus is expected to enroll approximately 3,500 undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students.

Rather than academic majors, this will focus on what the university and Griffin described in a press release as "grand challenge areas," which include human health and biological discovery, national security and strategic capabilities, energy and climate resilience, and advanced manufacturing and industrial innovation.

The remaining donation will be divided equally between the computer science program at the Pittsburgh campusโ€”which is set to be renamed after Griffinโ€”and other unspecified projects at the main campus.

In a press release praising Griffin, Carnegie Mellon University President Farnam Jahanian stated, "Throughout our history, CMU has anticipated moments of profound technological change and responded with new ways of thinking and problem-solving," adding, "Artificial intelligence represents one of the defining intellectual developments of our time, and it demands that we reconsider how we educate students, conduct research, and collaborate with others."

Griffin, a major Republican donor and the founder of the investment firm Citadel, owns a waterfront home in Miami, a city that is part of a growing metropolitan area with a population of more than 6.4 million.

The area is already home to the University of Miami, a private research university; Florida International University, a public research university; and Miami Dade College, which began as a community college but now also offers some four-year degree programs.

However, Griffin, who had donated to various fields such as medical research, charter schools, and other universities for many years, saw that there was room for something new.
