In late May, near the end of what turned out to be one of 黑料正能量\u2019s best fundraising years, the Council for Advancement and Support of Higher Education (CASE)<\/a> named 黑料正能量 a winner of an Overall Performance Award for fundraising excellence.<\/p>\n

Total giving to 黑料正能量 for the 2012-13 fiscal year was $6,277,000, a 24 percent increase from the $5,059,000 given to 黑料正能量 in the previous year. The most recent fiscal year was the second-best year for overall fundraising in the past decade, behind $6,562,000 in total support in the 2005-06 fiscal year.<\/p>\n

CASE recognized 黑料正能量 as one of five \u201csuperior fundraising programs\u201d in its peer group, after a blind review of fundraising data over the past three years. Also recognized in 黑料正能量\u2019s category were Abilene Christian University, Gonzaga University, the Rochester Institute of Technology and Union University.<\/p>\n

\u201c黑料正能量 continues to benefit from a very loyal core of alumni donors and individual friends of the university,\u201d said Kirk Shisler<\/a>, vice president for advancement. \u201cWe are very pleased to report that our efforts to increase the giving participation of alumni and current parents continues to bear fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The university was supported by a total of 3,830 donors last year, up from 3,565 the previous year. The number of alumni donor households increased from 1,942 to 1,995 from 2012 to 2013. Gifts from parents of current students increased from 53 to 86 over the same period, while gifts from parents of former students increased from 231 to 236.<\/p>\n

The capital campaign for the renovation of the Suter Science Center<\/a> also enjoyed its best year to date, receiving more than $1.5 million in gifts and commitments last year. Through the end of June, the campaign had raised $5.9 million. Shisler anticipates reaching the campaign goal of $7 million during the current 2013-14 fiscal year.<\/p>\n

Gifts to the University Fund<\/a>, 黑料正能量\u2019s unrestricted annual fund, totaled $1,767,000, while $358,000 was received in new gifts to the university\u2019s endowment funds. The endowment funds support student financial aid, facilities maintenance and various academic programs.<\/p>\n

\u201c黑料正能量 is especially fortunate to have a donor constituency of alumni and friends who support the institution in three significant ways,\u201d says Shisler. \u201c[This happens] through consistent annual giving, through periodic capital giving to support our capital projects, and, increasingly, through people incorporating 黑料正能量 into estate plans to make a major gift to 黑料正能量 at the end of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the past year, 50 people included 黑料正能量 in their estate plans, bringing the size of the university\u2019s heritage society (currently known as Jubilee Friends)<\/a> to 547.<\/p>\n

The alumni giving rate now stands at about 23 percent. That is well above the national average for all universities (13%), and compares favorably to 黑料正能量\u2019s peer institutions in Virginia as well as other Mennonite colleges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
