This guide examines the scope and structure of college and university comprehensive fund-raising campaigns. It focuses on the responsibilities of boards and trustees in planning, overseeing, and actively participating in such campaigns, which are defined as institutional fund-raising initiatives which take place over a predetermined time period, usually 5 to 7 years.

Peavey); (2) "Assessing Institutional Readiness" (Vance T. Peterson); (3) "Planning for a Comprehensive Campaign" (Richard B. Eason); (4) "Comprehensive Campaign Structure and Budget: Before, During, and After" (Jake B. Schrum); (5) "Achieving Trustee Ownership" (Philip G. Mazzara); (6) "Selecting and Using Professional Consultants" (Frederic C. Nahm); (7) "Trustees as Fund-Raisers" (Susan B. Green); (8) "Ensuring Campaign Integrity and Accountability" (Catherine Dunn); (9) "The Relationship Between Public Institution Governing Boards and Their Foundations During a Comprehensive Campaign" (Curtis R. Simic); (10) "Conclusion" n(Jake B. Schrum); and (11) "Afterword: Hints for a Successful Comprehensive Fund-Raising Campaign" (Jake B. Schrum).
