Colleges and Universities Raise $30.30 Billion in 2011\u00a0<\/strong><\/a> — from Council for Aid to Education (CAE)<\/p>\n

Contributions to the Nation\u2019s Colleges and Universities at $30.30 Billion<\/strong>
\nCharitable contributions to colleges and universities in the United States increased 8.2 percent in 2011, reaching $30.30 billion, according to results of the annual Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) survey. The findings were released today by the Council for Aid to Education (CAE). Adjusted for inflation, giving increased 4.8 percent. Giving for capital purposes, such as endowments and buildings, increased 13.6 percent (10.1 percent, adjusted for inflation).<\/p>\n

Charitable Gifts Concentrated at the Top<\/strong>
\nAs is true of the nonprofit sector overall, most of the charitable dollars go to a small number of institutions. Twenty-five percent of the responding institutions raised 86.3 percent of the dollars reported<\/span><\/strong> on the VSE survey. The next 25 percent account for under 10 percent, and the next two quartiles of institutions together account for less than 5 percent of the total.<\/p>\n
