Investing in the Long Term: The Highs and Lows of Endowments
Guth, Douglas J.
Community College Journal, v91 n2 p18-23 Oct-Nov 2020
Although endowments at two-year colleges cannot compare to similar funding at a typical powerhouse university, community college endowments have grown an average of 76 percent over the past 20 years, according to the Center for Community College Advancement at the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). Foundation creation among community colleges is a necessity in light of a 20-year decrease in state-level funding, observers say. The article examines how different community colleges fundraise for their endowments.
