Voluntary Support of Education: Key Findings from Data Collected for the 2019-20 Academic Fiscal Year for U.S. Higher Education Institutions
Kaplan, Ann E.
Council for Advancement and Support of Education
The Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) annual survey has collected data on fundraising outcomes in higher education institutions in the United States. It is regarded as the definitive source of information on philanthropic support of those institutions. Data from the survey are used to estimate total charitable support of all institutions of higher education in the nation, including nonrespondents. This is a summary of the key findings from the 2019--2020 academic fiscal year. According to the VSE survey, voluntary support of higher education institutions in the United States was essentially flat in the fiscal year that, for most institutions, ended June 30, 2020. While support edged down two-tenths of a percent, at $49.50 billion, nearly half--48.6%--of responding institutions reported giving rose in 2020. In addition, in 2019, Michael Bloomberg's charities and foundation gave $1.8 billion to Johns Hopkins University. If that contribution were removed from 2019 results, giving in 2020 would have increased 3.6%. [For the 2018-19 report, see ED611086.]
