Philanthropic Motivations of Community College Donors
Carter, Linnie S.; Duggan, Molly H.
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v35 n1-2 p61-73 2011
This descriptive study surveyed current, lapsed, and major gift donors to explore the impact of college communications on donors' decisions to contribute to the college, the likelihood of donor financial support for various college projects, and the philanthropic motivation profiles of the donors of a midsized, multicampus community college in Virginia. Findings suggest both the impact of college communications and financial support of various fundraising projects differ significantly by donor profile. (Contains 3 tables.)
