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 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract Fundraising is a critical element for the success and survival of higher education institutions. These institutions are all dependent on financial contributions from alumni as well as philanthropic organizations and private benefactors to support the institution. The presidents of these institutions are instrumental in seeking and obtaining funds in order to maintain the stability of these colleges and universities. Presidents should be knowledgeable of the nuances that make an institution successful and must aim to create those environments. The purpose of this qualitative investigation was to examine college presidents' approaches to fundraising at selected Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCUs) in the South Eastern region of the United States (US). This study examined the strategies employed by these institutions and particularly their presidents. It also examined the philosophies, experiences, and fundraising strategies currently being employed by the selected college and university presidents. In this study a blend of existing theories was used to construct the conceptual framework. Therefore, the conceptual framework addressed the cultural and social aspects of race and the role it plays in the participant's environment through the use of Critical Race Theory and the relationship between presidents and benefactors through Social Exchange Theory. Stakeholder Theory defines those groups within an organization without whose support the organization would cease to exist (Freeman, Harrison, Wicks, Parmar, & DeColle, 2012). In this study, stakeholder theory was used to address and identify the parties that exist to support the organization such as the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, students and alumni, as well as how these stakeholders' interests are met. Lastly, Transformational Leadership Theory was used to address the leadership elements of the participants and how they communicate their vision and strategies for their fundraising campaigns. The results of the study, which intended to explore the experiences of presidents as they seek funds on behalf of their college or university, revealed that while the president of the institution is responsible for leading the fundraising efforts, additional entities also play a major role in the institution's ability to successfully raise funds. Analysis of the data using a thematic approach produced themes regarding the president's role in fundraising, the importance of messaging, fundraising strategies and barriers to fundraising. Implications for leaders of HBCUs include investing in and providing resources for the advancement office as that is the foundation for successful fundraising, actively and aggressively embracing fundraising as the primary duty in their role as president and selecting members with proven track records of giving for the Board of Trustees as they play a critical role in fundraising for the institution. Understanding the participants' experiences and the challenges they face can greatly assist others currently in the field as well as incoming presidents as they assume the role as leaders of an HBCU institution.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this article is to discuss the importance of increasing fund development at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Increasing the endowments at HBCUs means placing more emphasis on cultivating alumni and educating them about the importance of philanthropy. Advancement professionals at these specialized institutions face a growing dilemma--how to strengthen university resources in a climate that has historically relied almost wholly on public funding. Public HBCUs will eventually be forced to identify private resources to survive and thrive. Identifying an effective model for fundraising is the first step.

This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From gifts of blankets, chickens, and candles to multimillion-dollar gifts and billion-dollar campaigns, voluntary support of American higher education has been part of the American ethos since the founding of the colonial colleges. Peter Dobkin Hall in 1992 noted that "no single force is more responsible for the emergence of the modern university in America than giving by individuals and foundations." Institutions are turning to private giving to meet budgetary demands. This book provides a review of the philanthropy and fundraising literature and addresses the impact of philanthropy on American higher education, the theoretical under-pinnings and motivations for voluntary support, and a comprehensive look at the mechanics of fundraising.

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.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically black medical schools pride themselves on training primary care physicians and other health care professionals. Alumni giving and philanthropy are two avenues for financially supporting these medical schools, which can supplement the institutional funding not provided by the government. With the recognizable decline of state and federal funding available to HBCUs, it becomes increasingly important to cultivate alumni for future institutional donations. These gifts can reduce HBCU’s dependence on government funding and improve alumni engagement. The purpose of this research is to understand what motivates alumni of HBCU medical schools to financially contribute to their alma mater.

Download or read book The Impact of Shifting Funding Levels on the Institutional Effectiveness of Historically Black Colleges and Universities written by Anelle Shanna Jayd Alfred and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there exists extensive research on the historical development of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States, there is limited research focused on the current development of HBCUs in terms of institutional effectiveness and strategic planning. This gap in the research is particularly relevant in the midst of shifts in state funding that have occurred over the past decade. This research study is designed to move further towards filling this research gap by determinations through the examination of: (1) the interplay of fiscal issues and institutional effectiveness in relation to the historic mission, strategic efforts, and state mandates within the context of HBCUs; (2) the perceived institutional effectiveness of HBCUs by key internal and external stakeholders; and (3) the alignment of HBCU mission statements with mandated metrics of institutional effectiveness. Using a qualitative research design, an exploratory multisite case study was employed across two institutions. Nine key HBCU stakeholders such as the Presidents and the Vice Presidents of Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Financial Affairs, and Alumni Affairs were interviewed to gain their perspectives on institutional effectiveness in relationship to shifting funding, heightened accountability, planned strategies to address these issues, and how these issues directly impact institutional effectiveness at HBCUs. Interviewee perspectives of shifts in funding were examined using a researcher-developed conceptual framework. In addition to conducting interviews, the researcher engaged in document review of relevant university documents, as well as a review of funding patterns of state allocations retrieved from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Data from the three sources were triangulated and a two-layered coding strategy was used for further analysis. Findings from this data analysis were then used to address the five research questions presented in this study. The findings revealed that fluctuating shifts in state allocated funding has created a complex environment for HBCUs. Key HBCU administrators held similar perspectives, that in the midst of such a complex environment, emergent institutional response strategies have been put into place to maintain HBCU institutional effectiveness within the context of the historic HBCU mission.

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
