This study examined the financing patterns of 212 community colleges in 11 midwestern states during the decade of the 1990s using the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Support from state appropriations declined between 1990 and 2000, and reliance on tuition and fees increased between 1990 and 1995, although both trends were weak effects. The states differed significantly in their reliance on 10 of 12 current funding revenue sources. Despite numerous calls for increased fund-raising, revenues from gifts, grants, and endowments have contributed little to enhance revenue at the institutions studied.
