Book An Examination of the Relationship Between Development Support Characteristics and the Amount of Funds Raised for Student Affairs Divisions

Download or read book An Examination of the Relationship Between Development Support Characteristics and the Amount of Funds Raised for Student Affairs Divisions written by Nicole G. Rovig and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some student affairs divisions have developed successful fundraising programs to maintain or enhance their level of service, while others engage in practices such as reducing the quality and/or quantity of services as a means of handling decreasing governmental support. This study examined the relationship between development support characteristics and the amount of funds raised for student affairs divisions. Development support characteristics examined include placement of development officer, level of involvement in fundraising of the chief student affairs officer, level of involvement in fundraising of other senior student affairs officers, level of support from the president of the institution, type of institution, and size of the institution's endowment. The findings of this study show that the amount of funds raised was significantly higher for divisions that had at least one part-time development officer reporting to the development office. Findings also showed that level of involvement of director or assistant/associate director of career services, director or assistant/associate director of student activities, and "others" as measured by the percentage of time spent on fundraising was related to the amount of funds raised. Regardless of the total number of officers and whether the officer was full-time or part-time, if the officer reported to student affairs more funds were raised. In addition, the higher the total number of development officers who are devoted to student affairs fundraising and the higher the number of other student affairs officers who have an active role in fundraising the higher the amount of funds raised. Finally, student affairs divisions that were engaged in a campaign reported raising more funds.

Book Student Affairs Fundraising

Download or read book Student Affairs Fundraising written by Neal C. Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comparative case study examined the development, design, and evolution of two student affairs fundraising programs, each led by a full-time development officer, at public research universities in the Southeastern region of the United States. The purpose of the study was to identify practices and strategies for higher education administrators exploring, creating, or reframing student affairs fundraising programs that traverse advancement and student affairs divisions. The research is timely given the increased role of philanthropy in funding public higher education institutions (Giving USA, 2018) and the growing number of student affairs fundraising programs (Crowe, 2011). Bolman and Deal’s (2017) four organization frames--structural, human resources, political, and symbolic--provided the theoretical lens to examine both programs. Key findings centered on the programs’ approach to building organizational structures that aligned with strategic goals (structural frame), navigating institutional development landscapes (political frame), creating a compelling vision to inspire philanthropic support (symbolic frame), and fostering support from leadership (human resources frame). Major implications for practice include a proposed test for determining whether an institution is prepared to start a student affairs fundraising program, strategies for integrating the program with institutional advancement, a proposed staffing model, approaches for navigating institutional fundraising environments built for academics and athletics fundraising, and tactics for establishing student affairs philanthropic priorities. The research updates the comparative case study literature on student affairs fundraising programs and illuminate strategies for practitioners exploring, creating, or evolving such programs.

Book Advancement Work in Student Affairs  The Challenges and Strategies

Download or read book Advancement Work in Student Affairs The Challenges and Strategies written by Thomas E. Miller and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-06-21 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is intended to serve as a sourcebook for those who are engaged in fundraising on behalf of the programs and services in divisions of student affairs, as well as those in student affairs who are not involved in this activity but wish to be. It seeks to convey the principles that drive effective practice in fundraising for student affairs. This volume considers fundraising in student affairs organization through the voices of a collection of persons with strong student affairs backgrounds representing a wide range of institutions. Many institutions have highly sophisticated and successful development operations, large endowments, and finely tuned fundraising programs. However, many large public institutions are new to the game, as are smaller private institutions that are overly dependent on tuition revenue. Many comprehensive public universities have only recently gotten started with development initiatives, and that is the case for many community colleges. Thus, this volume presents a team of authors who represent those types of institutions.

Miller-Schuster and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using an interpretivist paradigm, the results of this study provided insight into what types of development initiatives divisions of student affairs were participating in, a deeper understanding of who was involved in fundraising efforts, how and in what ways the two divisions (institutional advancement and student affairs) were collaborating, and the effects of involvement by staff on traditional responsibilities and organizational structures.

This foundation provides practitioners with strategies on how to work together to create a more systematic and coordinated effort for accomplishing the institution's fundraising goals.

Book Successful Fundraising for the Academic Library

Download or read book Successful Fundraising for the Academic Library written by Kathryn Dilworth and published by Chandos Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful Fundraising for the Academic Library: Philanthropy in Higher Education covers fundraising, a task that is often grouped into a combination role that may include, for example, the university museum or performance venue, thus diluting the opportunity for successful fundraising. Because the traditional model for higher education fundraising entails the cultivation of alumni from specific departments and colleges, the library is traditionally left out, often becoming a low-performing development area with smaller appropriations for fundraising positions. Most higher education development professionals consider the library fundraising position a stepping stone into another position with higher pay and more potential for professional advancement down the road rather than as a focus for their career. However, for universities that invest in development professionals who know how to leverage the mission of libraries to the larger alumni and friend community, the results include innovative and successful approaches to messaging that resonates with donors. This book provides information that applies to all fundraising professionals and academic leaders looking to strengthen their programs with philanthropic support, even those beyond university libraries. Makes the case for university libraries as a viable avenue for donor engagement that translates to all academic areas of higher education fundraising Highlights the importance of collaborative relationships and fundraising strategies with academic leaders, donors, and fundraising staff Outlines strategies that have resulted in fundraising success for academic and research libraries at universities of varying size and culture
