Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to investigate the fundraising profiles of selected community colleges and to explore the relationship among the aspects of presidential leadership and the fundraising of the institutions. This study relied on the traits of authentic leadership to examine whether community college presidents are effective in seeking and acquiring funds from external resources. Over the past several years, community colleges in some states have seen an alarming drop in state appropriations per full-time-equivalent student (Hebel, 2010). While many four-year colleges and universities have robust fundraising programs, the fundraising programs in many community colleges lack that same vitality (Blose, 2010). Data from the Authentic Presidential Leadership and Fund Raising Survey were analyzed to address the research questions and test the hypotheses using inferential statistics. Excel was used to conduct the analysis. An alpha level of .05 was set. Descriptive statistics, correlational analyses, and multiple regression analyses were conducted using the two independent variables, the degree of authentic leadership and length of presidential service, and the two dependent variables, presidential involvement in fundraising and the amount of funds raised. The results of this study found no significant association was found between community college presidents' involvement in fundraising and authentic leadership. Moreover, a weak correlation was found between presidential involvement in fundraising and the length of presidential service. However, the data showed that the longer presidents have been in service, the less likely they are to attend foundation board meetings. The results presented in this study have contributed new information to the minimal literature there is that has examined the fundraising activities of community colleges. Community colleges do not have active fundraising programs and they do not disclose how much funds were actually received from their fundraising efforts. There was a weak correlation between authentic leadership of community college presidents and their involvement in fundraising. While the vast majority of community colleges in this study that had established foundations and applied for a 501(c)(3) classification, there are still some community college foundations that are unable to accept tax-deductible contributions from donors. -- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do university leaders know if their institution's efforts to raise private gifts are effective? With so many presidents, provosts, and deans having very little hands-on experience in fundraising, this is often a difficult question to answer. What is not difficult is to see that the need for private gifts will only continue to escalate, particularly at public universities that have seen state investment in high education deteriorate. Fundraising topics covered in this volume include: The growing role of private giving in financing the modern university The Foundation-Institution Partnership: The Role of Institutionally Related Foundations in Public Higher Education The Challenge of Funding Fundraising Leading the Way: The Role of Presidents and Academic Deans in Fundraising Determining the Success of Fundraising Programs Integrating Development, Alumni Relations, and Marketing for Fundraising Success Balancing Fundraising in Academic Programs and Intercollegiate Athletics Prospect Development Systems: Empowering Artful Fundraising Recruiting, Training, and Retaining High-Performance Development Teams This is the 149th issue of the Jossey-Bass higher education quarterly report series New Directions for Higher Education. Addressed to presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other higher-education decision-makers on all kinds of campuses, New Directions for Higher Education provides timely information and authoritative advice about major issues and administrative problems confronting every institution.

Download or read book Multi year Trends in Community College Foundation Fundraising written by Leonard Keith Gaskin and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges generate only 2% of the total charitable funds raised by higher education institutions in the United States. In an era when America needs its community colleges to be active public sector partners in economic development and workforce training, state funding has been drastically cut, and other traditional funding sources are not making up for the much-needed funds. Forward thinking community college leaders must turn to their foundations as an important revenue source to offset the impact of budget cuts and sustain educational excellence and accessibility. But with limited resources for each institution to employ a professional fund raising staff, it is unclear if state system foundations can create programs to help bridge the gap for individual community colleges. The purpose of this study, guided by the organizational theory of examining an organization's performance as part of an entire system and not individual factors, was to examine multi-year trends of public community colleges in the states of Virginia and Maryland that have participated in the Voluntary Support for Education (VSE) survey between the years of 2007-2012. The study was limited in scope, but could be the foundation for a broader framework of study to determine the fundraising significance and impact of state-level system community college foundations and the vice presidents of institutional advancement that lead them. The study consists of a review of available literature on institutional advancement in higher education and the quantitative study of data collected over a 5 year period through the VSE survey. Independent sample t-tests were used to determine if the mean difference on a particular group characteristic was statically significant for each dependent variable. The findings of the study did not affirm that having an experienced vice president of institutional advancement leading a state-level foundation leads to greater success in terms of private funds raised by community colleges of various sizes and resources within the system. However, this is the first known study to compare community college fund raising from a state-level approach, therefore the researcher concludes that increased emphasis on building a state-wide culture of philanthropy for community colleges is needed.

Download or read book An Exploration of the Effectiveness of Solicitation Modalities for Increasing Overall Philanthropic Participation of Non traditional Alumni in Small Private Not for Profit Colleges written by Gaetan Thomas Giannini (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the role of non-traditional alumni in providing philanthropic support to their alma maters vis-à-vis the solicitation tactics of small private colleges and universities. Using an electronic survey, advancement officers from institutions with membership in the Council of Independent Colleges were surveyed to determine whether they segment non-traditional alumni as a distinct market and if they employ factors of influence and consideration of the stages of the decision-making process in their philanthropic solicitation efforts. Respondents rated their use of psychologist Robert Cialdini’s (2009) six factors of influence and the amount of attention given to the decision-making process based on a series of descriptors and also provided information on their annual fundraising performance. The study shows that few institutions classify non-traditional alumni as a distinct cohort resulting in most respondents not having data on the giving history of this set of alumni. Despite the sample size, the data suggest a correlation between the level of use of the factors of influence and fundraising success with both non-traditional alumni and general donor audiences. The study’s inquiry into the effectiveness of targeting the phases of the decision-making process shows little indication of increased performance in campaigns through targeting additional stages. However, the majority of institutions with the highest level of fundraising performance employed strategies of persuasion on all four segments of the decision-making process. The study was limited in that many small private colleges do not consider non-traditional alumni as a distinct segment and the possibility that the data collection method may have led to a degree of subjectivity in the responses. Yet, the study uncovered themes where the data are consistent with the literature in marketing and behavioral science from which recommendations for best practices and further research are suggested.
