Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several findings emerge from both logistic regression and multiple regression equations. First, opportunity I---being asked to give and alumni involvement are strong predictors of both donating and the amount donated at both universities. Additionally, opportunity II---having the financial resources to give was statistically significant in predicting the amount donated for both universities, but was only found to be a significant predictor of whether respondents donated at UD. Finally a comparison of the analyses for both institutions showed that no meaningful differences existed between donor behaviors at the two universities. The findings from this study provide a theoretically based model that can be used to further explore donor motives in higher education. Additionally, the results give practitioners a basis of determining how to increase alumni donations.

Book Synopsis Why Do People Donate? by : Karin Chao-Bushoven

Book excerpt: Higher education has relied on private philanthropy since the establishment of the first universities in the U.S. This reliance has increased over the decades as a result of rising costs and decreased government investment. As such, it has become more critical to better understand what factors motivate philanthropists to increase their support of higher education; including direct support for teaching and research and increasing financial support for those students otherwise not able to pursue secondary education. However, much of the existing data focuses only on point-of-philanthropic-act, and neglects to examine motivational factors of long-term donors that have progressively increased their giving. The objective of this study was to better understand two key factors: 1) why a donor may increase their giving, and 2) why continue contributing to the same university over the years. This study included a qualitative survey of major donors from a mid-sized, private, faith-based university. Five themes emerged from which three conclusions were derived: (1) donors’ core values and their identification with the organization’s mission; (2) trust, transparency, and the tenuous nature of the relationship between a donor and the organization; and (3) responsibilities of university leadership in philanthropy. These data suggest that integration of these factors in higher education donor relations may serve to better meet the increasing reliance on continued and increased private investment.
Book Synopsis Intelligent Giving by : Jonathan P. Caulkins
Download or read book Intelligent Giving written by Jonathan P. Caulkins and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2002-06-20 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides an intellectual framework for guiding prospective major donors in giving more effectively to higher education.Although most major gifts are profoundly motivated by charitable intentions, the noble impulse to give to higher education can quickly generate complicated choices. Which school? Which program? Under what terms or conditions? Even very talented people who have enjoyed exceptionally successful careers in business and other fields can become disoriented by academe_s idiosyncrasies. This book provides an intellectual framework for guiding prospective major donors in giving more effectively to higher education. It supplies some insight into the higher education sector, donor opportunities, the development process, and how to think about and get the most from a _negotiation_ with the institution of the donor_s choice. The insights and strategies are culled by a RAND research team mainly from interviews with development officers, institutional leaders, and donors themselves. Ultimately the giving process that works best for any donor will depend on his or her individual interests and needs. The best advice is to be clear on what effect the donor wants his or her gift to have, to seek as much information on the school/situation as possible, and to consult with an attorney and a good financial advisor at all stages of the giving process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Association of Fundraising Professionals 2014 Skystone Partners Research Prize in Philanthropy and Fundraising Traditionally, institutions have relied on wealthy White men to reach their fundraising goals. But as state investment in public higher education lessens and institutions look to philanthropy to move from excellence to eminence, advancement officers continually need to engage all populations, including many that have historically been excluded from fundraising strategies. Based on theory, research, and past practice, Expanding the Donor Base in Higher Education explores how colleges and universities can build culturally sensitive fundraising and engagement strategies. This edited book presents emerging research on different communities that have not traditionally been approached for fundraising—including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) alumni, African Americans, Latinos, graduate students, young alumni, women, and faculty donors. Chapters discuss and analyze successful programs and provide practical suggestions and strategies to create and implement fundraising programs that engage these new donor populations. Expanding the Donor Base in Higher Education is an essential resource for any institution looking to expand their pool of donors and cultivate a more philanthropic mindset among alumni and students.

Book Synopsis Philanthropic Motivation Patterns at Florida Community Colleges by : Rachel Cooey West

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this quantitative research study was to investigate the factors that motivated individuals to make financial contributions to community colleges and to create a profile of the community college donor. The Philanthropic Motivation Survey of Community College Donors was administered to donors at three Florida community colleges who had donated at least $1000 in one or more gifts between January 2006 and December 2010. From the 226 responses, a brief profile of the community college donor emerged. The donor is likely a married white male aged 57 with children. He is employed, but not by the college. He lives within the college's district and has contributed to other higher education institutions even though he did not receive financial aid as a student. This donor has earned a bachelor's degree but is not a first generation college student. The data from the factor analysis categorized the motivations into six different groupings than they were in originally for university donors. The categories were Social and Reward; Respect for Institution; Appreciation for College; Relationship with College; Altruism; and Create a Legacy. Respect for Institution and Altruism were rated as the most important motivation categories. Once the categories were established and ranked according to importance, a one-way univariate analysis of variance, independent samples t-test, and multiple regression analyses were performed to answer which of the foundation and donor demographics had an impact on the motivations and whether differences were apparent among the three institutions. Statistically significant impact of donor demographics was evident in all six motivation categories. However, not all demographics--age, gender, job status, and earned associate degree or certificate--influenced the motivations. The three community colleges' donors differed significantly in two motivations--Relational and Legacy; all other motivation categories displayed no significant differences in motivation. The findings can assist community college resource development officers to profile and serve their current and future donors by aligning donor demographics with specific motivations.

Book excerpt: This study is an examination of the giving decision-making process, as well as the factors, characteristics, and motivators of major donors to music programs in higher education. The college and the conservatory of music selected for this study are part of large, public, doctoral, research universities in metropolitan areas with at least three major arts organizations. The primary sources for the data were interviews with donors who have made major gifts to the selected colleges of music. Review of the donors' giving patterns, and an interview with the Director of Development at each institution were also used to gain a better understanding of the giving decisions of major donors. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that have motivated the gifts made by major donors. Higher education has a direct impact on the economic growth of society (Bowen, 1996; Clotfelter et al., 1991; Curti & Nash, 1965; Elliott, 2006; Gaudiani, 2003; Leslie & Slaughter, 1992; Smith & Drabenstott, 1992; Van Til, 1990). In the same way, philanthropy has played an important role in the development of higher education (Bremmer, 1996; Curti & Nash, 1965; Sears, 1990). Music and arts are also considered an essential part of societal development (Christ-Janer & Wickiser, 1968; Knieter, 1976; Myers, 2006; Rankin, 1982). Based on Christ-Janer & Wickiser (1968) and Rankin (1982), I anticipated that a great appreciation for music and a strong relationship to the academic institution's donor's support were two of the main motivators that have contributed to the giving decisions of major donors to music programs in higher education. I expected to find a level of relational affinity as defined by King (2005) who states that the donor-institution relationship is based on undergraduate experiences in the case of alumni, or interpersonal relationships with the leadership of a university for non-alumni. I also expected major donors to be drawn to give to colleges and schools of music because of their mission and the impact these schools have on the community. Different than all most of my expectations and findings in the existing literature on major donors, the results of this study show a different decision-making process for major donors to music higher education. The benefit of this study is to have a better understanding of major donors' behavior toward the arts and their motivation to give to music programs in higher education. The resulting knowledge provides additional insight for development officers at colleges of music as they work with their major donor cultivation, solicitation and stewardship.

Book excerpt: Planned giving is a critical source of funding for higher education institutions. Smaller institutions receive fewer of these gifts in comparison to larger research institutions of higher education. Higher education leaders have recognized these benefits and suggest that these gifts would create a substantial opportunity for changes in smaller institutions. According to the report on the 2019 Survey of College and University Presidents, three-quarters of surveyed college and university presidents expressed the belief that wealthy, elite institutions received a disproportionate amount of large philanthropic gifts, and that smaller, non-elite institutions would benefit more from gifts of this substantial size (Jaschik & Lederman 2019). In order to create opportunities for smaller institutions of higher education to receive more planned gifts, we need to further understand what motivates a planned gift donor.This qualitative study sought to understand the motivations of donors to invest in higher education through the philanthropic initiative of planned giving through interviews with 17 individuals. Using the social identity theory as my framework, I explored how the perception of connection to or membership in various organizations affected the behavior of deciding to give a planned gift to a small, non-elite institution of higher education. The six themes that emerged through data analysis were: membership through connection, meaningful personal experience, pay it forward, advancement of the college, duty, and recognition. Participants valued the traditions that are associated with smaller colleges. Additionally, participants were able to recall specific learning experiences in which they heard about planned giving
