Fans and alums have provided unprecedented levels of support for the Cardinal in the past year to help student-athletes achieve excellence in all 36 varsity sports. Gifts from three families led the way, with a total of $40 million in contributions from Carrie Walton Penner, MA ’97, and Greg Penner, MBA ’97; Elizabeth and Bruce Dunlevie, MBA ’84; and Mindy, ’84, ’MBA ’88, and Jesse Rogers, ’79.

Their commitment came largely in the form of matching funds to encourage gifts from others, which has led to new scholarships for student-athletes, coachships to help the Cardinal retain and recruit coaches and programmatic funds to bolster teams. A portion of the families’ combined gifts also will support renovations to Maples Pavilion, including enhancements to locker rooms and spaces for nutrition and sports medicine programs.

A separate gift from Gene Sykes, MBA ’84, and his family inspired Cardinal donors to contribute to the Buck/Cardinal Club or any of the 36 Cardinal teams. The “Home of Champions Challenge,” which took place during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics last summer, generated support from hundreds of fans, who leveraged the match to double their contributions for student-athletes.

...

Altogether, donors committed a total of $76 million to Stanford Athletics in 2020-21, making it the most successful fundraising year in the history of Cardinal Athletics. Recent gifts have included programmatic funds and coachships for multiple sports, including wrestling, field hockey, men’s volleyball, women’s basketball and baseball.

I looked up the last Buck/Cardinal club annual report I could find, it was for 2018-19

https://www.daperdevelopment.com/1dc1c09...evelopment

for that year giving was ~$15.3m ($10m in B/C gifts and $5.3m in expendable gifts) so last year's $76m was a massive bump from previous years (assuming 2018-19 was a typical year), I assume a lot of the increase was endowing various parts of various sports and the original article says 

Stanford’s commitment to the future of all 36 sports will require a sustained fundraising effort, however, as the financial challenges facing Stanford Athletics remain in place. “In order to pursue athletic excellence at the highest level, we estimate needing at least $300 million in additional philanthropic support over the next few years,” Denney said.

which puts the total at ~$400m, which is larger than the ~$200m I recall they talked about when they cut the 11 sports

“few years” is doing a lot of work there.
