Toward a Theory of Fund Raising in Higher Education.
Cook, W. Bruce; Lasher, William F.
Review of Higher Education, v20 n1 p33-51 Fall 1996
A study involving interviews with 50 academic leaders revealed that college fund raising is a team effort; the institution's president is typically the central player; presidents should focus fund-raising attention on major gifts and administrative leadership; academic quality and institutional prestige are critical factors; and fund raising is institution- and context-specific.
