This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continued existence of several private historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) has been threatened due to limited financial resources. Several of these institutions are on probation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) or in jeopardy of losing their accreditation due to financial position. Similarly, HBCUs have been dependent primarily on the government, the church, and benevolent philanthropists for funding. As government support of the private HBCU decreases, and as the economy worsens, competition for funding sources increases. As a result, these institutions focus their attention towards resource development and philanthropic support. The number one source of financial support for most colleges is the alumni (Yates, 2001). Unlike predominantly White colleges, HBCUs have not had a long history of generous alumni giving (Ramsey, 1992). Hence, if HBCUs can facilitate giving from their alumni, the financial condition of these institutions may improve. This study examined African-American alumni perceptions regarding giving for two private HBCUs located in the Southeastern United States. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors influencing African-American alumni perceptions regarding giving and how these factors facilitate or impede participation in giving to the HBCU. For this case study, data were collected through interviewing African-American alumni, attending alumni association meetings, and examining web-pages and other documents at the respective colleges. The findings under the lens of cultural, critical race and institutional theories (Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995; Outlaw, 1996) revealed factors influenced by Western social construction of culture, race, class, and power which have, consequently, impacted African-American alumni participation in giving to HBCUs. The conclusions and implications of this study are significant enough to warrant further investigation into the ramifications of African-Am.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the past 25 years more than 12 American public and private historically black colleges and universities, HBCUs, closed their doors, mostly the result of a lack of alumni support. During the same time period, the number of alumni gifts to non HBCUs increased. HBCUs continue to look for ways to motivate alumni giving. Using a literature review, key informant interviews, and a focus group, this research was conducted to determine whether using segmented and strategically worded direct-mail appeals could be an effective development strategy to inspire major gifts from HBCU alumni as suggested by researchers Russ Alan Prince and Karen Maru File in their book 'The Seven Faces of Philanthropy' who posit that donors respond favorably to certain key emotive and persuasive words based on the philanthropic 'face' each exhibits. While the idea of crafting an appeal letter to a donor works in theory, most HBCU development offices do not have the time or resources to personalize each solicitation, even to their small alumni bases. Conversely, HBCU alumni prefer to be personally cultivated and rarely make a major gift in response to a written solicitation, regardless of crafty wording"--Abstract, p. 6.

Book excerpt: Throughout the literature, HBCU alumni non-donors were perceived to possess the opposite characteristics of alumni that do give financially. In order to further examine the lack of alumni giving at HBCUs, this study evaluated previously identified characteristics of HBCU alumni that choose not to financially support their alma maters. The purpose of this study was to examine how income, student experience, religious charitable giving, alumni perceptions, and alumni engagement, relate to alumni giving at HBCUs. An explanatory correlational design was used to address the research questions posed in this study. The 4,500 person sample, which consisted of donors and non-donors, was selected from two HBCUs using a stratified random sampling process. Data collection occurred through an 18-question online survey. The large majority of the participants were donors, while 44% of the non-donors reported not being contributors due to a limited discretionary income. The participants were overwhelmingly satisfied with their academic experience, extracurricular experience, decision to attend their alma mater, and post-graduation success. In addition, a large percentage of the participants attended a church and made charitable contributions on a weekly basis. All of the relationships were found to be statically significant (p

This book was released on 2016 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As California's financial commitment to higher education continues to waver amidst fiscal crises and competing policy priorities, it is important that public institutions explore other strategies to cope with budget shortfalls (Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC), 2012). Such strategies have generally consisted of tuition and fee increases, expenditure reductions, and enrollment management (PPIC, 2012). There are numerous consequences related to each. Tuition and fee increases heighten worries about affordability. Expenditure reductions raise concerns about quality. Enrollment maiJagement practices threaten to limit access. One less explored strategy in the California State University (CSU) system is the solicitation of philanthropic support. Unlike private colleges and universities who have relied on philanthropic support for generations, most CSU schools lack a culture and tradition of giving back. Indeed, it has only been since the state legislature began cutting back support in the 1990s and 201 Os that CSU schools started becoming interested in philanthropy and expressing the need for more money than the state provides. Given this, many higher education administrators view philanthropic support as a promising way for public institutions to continue funding university initiatives no longer supported by the state. Focusing specifically on the CSU system, this study used a mixed-methods approach of both quantitative and comparative research to further examine philanthropic support through the lens of alumni giving. For the quantitative research, I utilized data from a CSU Advancement Office to conduct a two-part regression analysis and examine alumni giving patterns over a five-year period. The quantitative research also included a forecast prediction model. For the comparative research, the study compared its predictions on donor likelihood and target gift amount to that of a third party analytics company which conducted similar research with the same dataset. Corroborating past literature, the study overwhelmingly found that the type of degree earned and the number of degrees earned impacted alumni giving. Master, doctoral, and second-degree earners were significantly more likely to be donors. Similarly, student athletes and students who participated in at least one university-sponsored activity were more likely to be donors. In terms of total amount given, the results again substantiated that higher educational attainment and student involvement corresponded with larger gifts. The variables of age, median household income, and proximity to campus also had an effect on total amount given. When comparing the study's predictions to a third party company's predictions, the analysis revealed that the study's model may lack a robust indicator for high-end donors. Yet for low-end donors, the study may provide a more nuanced prediction that could prove to be helpful for annual funds. Based on these findings, there is evidence to suggest that regression analysis can assist CSU University Advancement Offices to understand the factors that predict alumni giving. Learning more about the influences that cause an alumnus/na to make a financial contribution in support of the CSU can help inform policy decisions about state general fund allocation. The study can also help CSU Advancement Offices engage in more fruitful, meaningful, and strategic fundraising.

Download or read book A Case Study of Presidents Approaches to Fundraising at Four Private and Four Public Historically Black Colleges and Universities written by William M. Stovall and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine presidents' approaches to fundraising at four-year historically black colleges and universities. The study also explored presidential leadership and how it informs presidents' fundraising efforts. Both private and public institutions were represented in this study. Religious and non-religious affiliated colleges and universities were representative of private institutions. Institutional types for public institutions were land-grant and urban, comprehensive. This study employed a qualitative research method to gather data from the participating institutional leaders. A case study design and qualitative analytic procedures were utilized to derive meaning from collected data. Triangulation was used to retrieve data from various sources. Data sources consisted of semi-structured interviews, observations and documents. Four case studies were used for this study. The qualitative methodology of purposive sampling was utilized to select institutional leaders. Institutional leaders were selected from four-year historically black colleges and universities located in the Southeastern region of the United States. The Southeastern region of the United States was selected due to its high concentration of four-year historically black colleges and universities. Additionally, this study was guided by three research questions that centered on the approaches, role as institutional leader and leadership characteristics of presidents regarding fundraising at four-year, private and public historically black colleges and universities. There were variations among presidents in their approaches to fundraising. For the president of Lee University, fundraising was approached through the means of various types of campaigns. They were: traditional, continuing and interim. The use of each campaign was determined by specific institutional needs. The president of Monroe University approached fundraising from an individualistic perspective. He believed that major gift fundraising should be, solely, the responsibility of the institutional leader. There were similarities in the approach to fundraising for presidents of Verona and Wren Universities. They employed a more inclusive approach based on the notion that everyone is a fundraiser. There was a consensus in regard to the role of institutional leader in fundraising among presidents. Overall, there was unanimity in the belief that presidential leadership is essential to the success of fundraising. Furthermore, each president's perspective on the role as leader suggested that a president's ability to effectively articulate his or her institutional vision was also a shared belief. All four presidents exhibited a different leadership characteristic in relation to institutional fundraising. They were: situational (Lee University), authoritarian (Monroe University), democratic (Verona University), and charismatic (Wren University). Moreover, these varying leadership characteristics were reflective of each president's overall style of leadership.
