Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alumni associations and offices of development play fundamental roles in American higher education, typically having missions which include the generation of financial support for the institution. Alumni associations must develop strategies to encourage alumni to donate money and enable them to build long-term relationships between alumni organizations and the university. The foundation of any fund raising program is the annual fund. Not only does the annual fund represent a significant percentage of funds raised for most charities, it often comes with the fewest strings attached. If development professionals have a clear understanding of the issues and factors that influence donors to make annual gifts, they may be able to design cultivation and solicitation approaches which raise more money at less cost. The study uses quantitative methods to analyze data collected from the computer database of the Mississippi State University Foundation and Mississippi State University National Alumni Association to develop a profile of donors and non-donors. Recommendations for further study include more studies of this type in the region, interview studies with donors, and studying any relationships between giving and other variables, such as income level.

Book excerpt: This project explores why non-donors do not give to their alma mater. Interviews with 12 non-donors allowed for an in-depth examination of the decision-making process of these non-donors. The Van Slyke and Brooks (2005) model of alumni giving and Schervish's (2000b) supply-side theory of philanthropy provided the conceptual framework. These findings suggest that where donors and non-donors differ is in the ways in which they socially construct their college experiences to create their own realities. This reality becomes the narrative lens through which non-donors interpret and evaluate requests for donations to the college. Variables such as their reasons for attending college, how they fit college into their life, and if they viewed college as a commodity emerged as important themes in non-donor narratives. Other process variables -- who makes the giving decisions and how they prioritize giving -- come into play for these non-donors as well. This study demonstrates the need to include non-donors in research that explores factors that motivate alumni to give to their alma mater and confirms that examining the impact of demographic characteristics and experiences on alumni giving cannot rely on oversimplified pictures of only one or two variables.
