<p>Don’t let barrons or rjkofnovi see this :-)</p>
<p>^ I was going to put a warning to them in the title. Alexandre too with Cornell/Michigan…</p>
<p>I do not understand your obsession to belittle the B1G. ;)</p>
<p>The only reason UW went “down” was that in the base year it received a one time huge ($300 Million or so) sum when the largest medical insurer in the state converted from a mutual to a stock company. Half the money went to the UW Med School as an endowment to establish public health programs. </p>
<p>2004-2005
" The School’s endowment grows from about $35 million to $435 million, including a $300 million gift from Blue Cross/Blue Shield."</p>

<p>I am shocked that anyone would think $600 Million/year is typical–even for a top public. 
The 2009 and 2010 numbers are more typical.</p>
<p>On a (slightly) more serious note, percentages of growth tell one side of the story. The size of the fundraising is needed for a better perspective. You could have a great slide showing percentage of increase in SAT scores at a mediocre university and at Harvard, and then go on and reach rather inadequate conclusions. </p>
<p>So here you go – from the same source: </p>
<p>The nation’s top 20 fundraising universities (and dollars received) in 2010 are:
<p>PS Adding fundraising per capita would also be nice!</p>
<p>^ No worries, barrons. I assumed it was due to an anomaly versus an indication of systemic loss of support.</p>
<p>I’m surprised that Princeton is not on there. Aren’t they always boasting about their alumni giving rate?</p>
<p>xiggi, all I gotta say is Berkeley and MIT are doing pretty good with no medical schools. </p>
<p>
FIFY for a more apples to apples comparison… :D</p>
<p>
Right, but the raw numbers have been discussed before.</p>
<p>^^^hehe.</p>
<p>Michigan completed a huge campaign in 2008. It brought in almost $3,000,000,000.00</p>

<p>
You and slipper can go ahead and do that…we all know what the motive is!</p>
<p>^^^^There is no motive to anything xiggi writes. Just ask him…</p>

<p>Oh, I see you quoted the same story that came out in February 2011.</p>
<p>For Alexandre:</p>

<p>Aren’t we clever?</p>
<p>I thereby making a “bold prediction” that The Ohio State University will be one of the Top-5 Fundraisers in the nation from 2011 ~ 2016 (next five years). </p>
<p>Quote:</p>
<p>“Gee began talking about the $2.5 billion comprehensive campaign when he returned to Ohio State in 2007. At the trustees meeting this month, Ohio State officials discussed the need to collect “megagifts” - some larger than seven figures - to meet the goal. The campaign, which has not started a public phase yet, is to go through 2016.”</p>

<p>Official kick-off is scheduled for 2012. As for this year (2011), over $407 million has been raised so far!! Go Bucks!! :)</p>

<p>With flat at best state funding the emphasis on fund-raising will be growing at most publics.
"
Ward, for example, told the Faculty Senate he would like to consider new ways of approaching philanthropy. Currently, many of the dollars raised go to fund new buildings and other add-ons that provide what campus officials like to call the “margin of excellence.”</p>
<p>Along these lines, Ward wondered aloud if the university could start asking donors who fund endowed chairs across campus to pay for a professor’s entire position. Currently, many endowments fund additional dollars above base pay, such as a stipend for research. If endowed chairs covered the full pay of a faculty member, those dollars could be reinvested to fill gaps in the base budget."</p>
<p>“We’ve usually said that philanthropy provides the margin of excellence but are getting to that point now to where it will play a role in funding more base aspects,” says Mike Knetter, the president and chief executive officer of the UW Foundation, the private, nonprofit corporation that raises funds for the university. “It will take a big push to change people’s understanding of what we’re doing and it will take the generosity of many alumni.”</p>

<p>At least we’ve made progress:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Before it would have been:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It it was arranged by the amount of money for public universities the list would look like this:
<p>while IU slightly edges out UCLA, the amount is so minute it’s negligible; plus i think UCLA has already raised close to 500m this year, which drastically outweighs the amount it raised last year.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>have you any evidence that MIT and Cal’s low donation rates are due to a lack of medical school? Doesn’t Uchicago have a medical school? (or at least a ‘medical center’ as it says on their wikipedia page) and if so, why are its fundraising amounts so low?</p>
<p>
Medical schools are huge magnets for research donations.</p>
<p>

<p>For an apples to apples comparison, it would look like this:
