This article talks about a report on fund-raising campaign done by universities and colleges to support their educational programs. According to the "Voluntary Support of Education" annual report released by the Council for Aid to Education, alumni and other individual donors gave just more than half of the total amount raised. The country's colleges and universities raised an estimated $28-billion in private donations in the 2006 fiscal year, $2.4-billion, or 9.4 percent, more than in 2005. The significant jump was the result of larger donations from alumni and other individual donors, many of whom were solicited through numerous major fund-raising campaigns.
