Purdue Receives $5 Million Lilly Endowment Grant to Support Military Family Research Institute

A $5 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. will provide continued support during the next three years for the work Purdue University’s Military Family Research Institute (MFRI) does to improve the lives of military families and veterans. The grant will help MFRI enhance its robust support networks.

JeanAnne “Jeannie” (P’61) and Jim Chaney, Purdue Pharmacy’s most generous donors, have made an additional $17 million commitment in support of pharmacy scholarships. The Chaneys are among the most prolific benefactors in university history, having committed more than $44 million over 45 years.
