Fund raising needs to be campus priority In just a decade, private and

corporate donations to Cal Poly have leaped 156 percent, from $4.28 million annually to just under $11 million during the last fiscal year.

In the first six months of this fiscal year, the university had already received $12.3 million, ap­proaching its 1993-94 annual target of $13 million. The active partici­pation of the colleges, departments, and many individuals helped achieve this success.

As state funds for higher educa­tion continue to dwindle, it is becoming clear to everyone that growth in giving by the private sector is essential for Cal Poly to maintain its margin of excellence. The CSU system as a whole has made a new commitment to fund raising to try to shore up quality on campuses while state dollars decline.

The university must move be­yond raising private money only for discretionary purposes. Special projects, endowments, and other capital projects must become a priority as well. For Cal Poly to continue to enjoy is marked suc­cess and to build upon it, institu­tional development must be a priority universitywide.

I am optimistic that, with the necessary support, the university's fund-raising goals can be reached. Over the past decade almost every donor category has shown year-to­year improvement. Ten years ago, for example, only 2.2 percent of alumni gave to the university, while in the last fiscal year the percentage stood at 15.1, approx­imately the national average for alumni support at comprehensive, primarily undergraduate univer­sities similar to Cal Poly. Gifts from parents have increased from

$97,300 in 1982-83 to $445,930 in 1992-93, a good improvement.

The breakdown of gifts last year shows nearly $7 million was donated in cash and $4 million in property, materials and equip­ment. Of these amounts, alumni gave $1.53 million, parents $446,000, other individuals $612,000, corporations $4.56 million, foundations $3.73 million, and other organizations about $94,000.

In 1991-92, the most recent year for which national data are avail­able, Cal Poly was fourth in the nation among 149 similar public, comprehensive universities in total donations, third in securing gifts from alumni, second in corporate and business donations, and first in gifts from parents. Cal Poly's total endowment in that year was third among CSU campuses and 14th in the nation among the 149 similar public, comprehensive universities.

The preliminary development goal for 1994-95 is $14 million. The university also needs to begin planning for the launching of a major fund-raising campaign in 1996, culminating with Cal Poly's centennial in 2001.

Ideally, the university needs to create a $100 million endowment. The current endowment contains approximately $17 million.

I know some people wonder how the development operation is funded .

Educational equity endowment grows

The Educational Equity Scholar­ship Endowment, established in 1989 to aid underrepresented Cal Poly students, has reached more than $190,000.

In 1993-94, nine students were awarded a total of $8,667 in scholarships.

The faculty and staff are contrib­uting a combined total of $519 per month to the endowment, and this amount is being matched dollar for dollar - up to $60,000 - by Presi­dent Baker's discretionary funds.

The United Way contributed $247 to the fund.

Neil Simon's autobiographical play "Brighton Beach Memoirs" will be staged by the Theatre and Dance Department at 8 pm Thurs­day through Saturday, Feb. 24-26, in the Theatre.

The play depicts a few days in the lives of the members of a struggling Jewish household. Family members include Eugene's hard-working father, Jack; an older brother, Stanley; his mother, Kate; and his widowed Aunt Blanche and her two daughters, Nora and Laurie.

Other members of the Theatre and Dance Department working on the production include set designer David Thayer and technical director Howard Gee.

{34Htfut4 9fPUt#H .•. Fund raising needs to be campus priority (Continued from page 1)

by marketing license plate holders, special credit cards, and other products.

About $392,000 of the state money is allocated to support fund-raising efforts directly. An ad­ditional $440,000 is used for public relations, communications, alumni relations, and other activities that indirectly support fund raising. All of these efforts are part of the alumni relations, university rela­tions and news operations that every institution needs in order to keep its different "publics" in­formed and to maintain close ties with those groups.

Most gifts to the university are designated by donors to go to specific programs.

Nominations sought for professor award

Nominations for the systemwide CSU Trustees' Outstanding Pro­fessor Award for 1994-95 are being accepted. The nominee represen­ting this campus will receive $1,000. The person who wins the state award will receive $4,000. Nominees should have strong records of achievement in teaching and research; equal weight will be given to both categories.

Cal Poly nominations will be jointly reviewed and a finalist named by the Distinguished Teaching Award Committee and the Research Committee.

Send the names of potential nominees to Calvin Wilvert, Social Sciences Department, by April 4.

The campus finalist will be notified by the end of Spring Quarter so the summer can be used to prepare the extensive documentation required for the statewide competition.

For more information, call Wilvert at ext. 2579.

Cal Poly received about $531,000 in unrestricted gifts last year, and these funds helped pay for our public relations and development efforts as well as other academic, student and administrative programs.
