“…Colleges are responding to growing costs by establishing 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundations to receive donations from alumni, donors, and other philanthropic agencies (Cohen & Brawer, 2002;Eldredge, 1999;Jenkins & Glass, 1999;Ryan, 2003;Tisdale, 2003). Before the late 1970s, one did not typically see foundations on community college campuses, but by the end of the 1980s the number of Community College Foundations had grown to approximately 649 (Angel & Gares, 1989).…”

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the annual revenue received by United States public Community College Foundations from 2008-2009 in relation to selected variables associated in the literature with successful foundation performance. This study also collected longitudinal data by replicating and expanding upon a similar study conducted by Dr. Sharon McEntee Carrier a decade earlier. Linear regression analysis was used to collect descriptive statistics that described the frequencies, central tendencies, and distribution of the data. The researchers used linear regression and analysis of variances (ANOVA) to study the relationship between revenue gained in connection with private giving and college foundation operations for fiscal year 2008-2009, the degree to which the college president, chief resource development officer, and foundation board members were rated as playing a critical role in the foundation's operation, the degree to which meeting institutional strategic goals was rated as an important factor in evaluating the foundation's operation, the institution's geographic location, size (based on FTE enrollment), size of endowment, and organizational structure. The explanatory variables, foundation operations, the Chief Development Officer's role in the foundation's operation, location, size, endowment, and the Chief Development Officer's perception of how fundraising efforts were appreciated by the institutions served were found to be statistically significant.

“…16 Passage of the 1965 Higher Education Act, tax-exemption rulings by the Internal Revenue Service, and the decline in public funds positively influenced the establishment of community college foundations, rare before the 1970s, but commonplace by 1980. 17 This growth paralleled that of community colleges, which, in 1960, served 11 percent of the total enrollment in higher education, compared with 35 percent of the total by 1979. 18 A lack of comprehensive data on community college foundation performance has precluded accurate analysis of the value added by these foundations.…”

“…Based on these findings it appears that the public community colleges in this study had not followed the recommendations found in the literature that indicated a desirability for establishing alternative sources of revenue, particularly endowments, for future stability and autonomy (Angel & Gares, 1989;Bauske, 1985;Phillippe & Eblinger, 1998;Pokrass, 1989;Ryan, 1989;Seater, 1995).…”

“…Since public community colleges are an innovation of the twentieth century, the history of private support for them is much shorter. Most community college foundations have been created since the late 1970s (Angel & Gares, 1989). The increased number of foundations corresponds with the beginning of a change in state resource allocation.…”

“…Follow-up studies based on findings of Wattenbarger and his colleagues could provide current data regarding the funding patterns they reported (Wattenbarger & Starnes, 1976;Wattenbarger & Vader, 1986). Many published sources advocated the establishment of foundations and fund-raising activities (Angel & Gares, 1989;Brightman, 1989;Miller, 1994;Phillippe & Eblinger, 1998;Zeiss, 2002).…”

Community college finance: current funds revenue sources in 11 Midwest states in the decade of the 1990s

Twelve current funds revenue sources utilized by 212 community colleges in 11 Midwest states during the decade of the 1990s were analyzed, using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), available on the Internet. Comparisons were made by state as well as time, using the two-way analysis of variance. Of particular interest were trends in the proportions of student tuition and fees, and state and/or local appropriations from 1990 to 1995 to 2000. Also examined was the states' use of alternative funding sources to compensate for a possible reduction in government appropriations. Different funding models within the 11 states were identified. They were evaluated in terms of their success in sustaining or increasing revenue income without a disproportionate increase in student tuition and fees. Significant differences were found among the states in the proportion of total current funds revenue attributed to the 12 sources, especially for tuition and fees, state appropriations, and local appropriations. The community colleges in the study were not actively utilizing alternative funding sources. The proportion of total current funds revenue was less than .05 for each of 6 revenue sources (federal appropriations, local grants, private gifts, endowment income, sales and service of educational activities, and other sources of revenue). Overall, a significant difference in funding was found between the years 1990 and 1995 for state appropriations and student tuition and fees. For the decade, eight states reported a proportional decrease in state appropriations. Six of these states had an increase in tuition and fees. Two states indicated an increase in local appropriations. A continuing trend of reduced proportion of state support was found. Statistically significant state by year
