Fund-Raisers See Rebound in Giving

Development officers of schools and colleges are projecting that 2010 totals for giving will represent a 3.7 percent increase over the prior year, and that 2011 will see gains of 5.6 percent in giving, according to a survey released by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education. CASE's president, John Lippincott, said in a statement about his members: "Clearly, they are becoming more confident about the capacity and willingness of donors to support education. It is also very reassuring to see predicted growth rates that approach the average for the past 20 years."
