The Building Endowment Fund Appeal (BEFA) announced a goal of $400,000, the amount prescribed by the Carnegie Foundation to receive its $600,000 trust. Fund-raising began in earnest in 1926, with preliminary work having been started in 1924 by the King's University League, or the Laymen's University League. This had been led by A.H. Whitman, who then became the general chairman of the BEFA. At the end of 1924, the League was turned over to President Moore.

The BEFA was a massive undertaking led by President Moore and General Chairman A.H. Whitman, finally succeeding in the goal of $400,000 in pledges at the end of 1927 (see our files). It took years and dozens of workers throughout the Atlantic Provinces and elsewhere to solicit and collect on all the pledges. There were volunteers working in each of the parishes throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, as well as Prince Edward Island. The President's son, Rex J. Moore, was sent out during the summer of 1927 to solicit pledges and make collections throughout the Atlantic provinces. Miss Morrow, secretary to the President, helped with collections and administrative work for the campaign. King's hired a Mr. Miller from the firm Ward, Wells, Dreshman and Gates to organize the campaign. The campaign account was held at the Bank of Montreal, with A. E. Nash and then R.R. Wallace as treasurer. Money for expenses was taken from a Campaign Expense Fund.

The monies raised by the campaign was put into the Building Endowment Fund; the name was changed in 1962 to the "Property and Equipment Fund."

After the fire, the President, the Chief Justice of Nova Scotia, Robert Edward Harris (who served as Governor 1904-1923), and Dr. J. W. Allison were sent to interview the Carnegie Corporation again. The Corporation offered assistance on the condition that King's form a federation with Dalhousie University.
