Wanted to clear up some confusion. I spoke with a few University sources about the donation and they said the following:

• GW needs to raise $10 million on its own to get Smith’s $10 milion. They said it won’t be a problem at all. They can take unrestricted gifts given to GW and put them toward Smith Center. OR they could ask people who gave gifts to redirect them to Smith Center.
• Jack Kvancz is not in charge of this fundraising. He is helping with people he knows will give money but it’s mostly advancement people.
• Perspective donors, despite what some may say, cannot yet see any plans. They are not in the athletic director’s office on display. The Hatchet will have them as soon as the Smith and Kogod families give the final OK. But maybe if you are a big enough donor, things can be done.
• Plans will begin to circulate around the District’s fine arts commission relatively soon. This is the first step.
