“The institutions that come out of recession-driven economic challenges as winners will be those with a compelling story to tell, that use social media effectively, that are sensitive to the changing circumstances of their key constituents, that make a strong emotional connection with those constituents and that believe ‘this too shall pass.’”

CASE President John Lippincott “The New Normal for Educational Advancement,” Presentation, November 2010

PERSPECTIVES ON EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT 2010–2011A challenging economy. The rise of social media. The internationalization of education.

The trends that affected schools, colleges and universities in 2010–2011 in turn affected the advancement professionals who worked on their behalf.

Tight budgets driven by an ebbing global recession put advancement in the spotlight as institutions refocused their attention on engaging their alumni, telling their stories and connecting with their donors.

The rapid evolution of social media led professionals across the advancement disciplines—alumni relations, communications and marketing, fundraising and advancement services—to explore new ways to engage constituents in conversations with and about their institutions.

And as more institutions began to think globally, they also began to reach out across borders to connect with alumni, donors and potential students.

In the midst of the financial stress and rapid change that marked 2010–2011, advancement professionals tested and embraced new approaches, new communications tools and new ways to collaborate across the disciplines.

In fact, in spite of—or perhaps because of—the year’s challenges, 2010–2011 may be most notable for contributing to the development of creative new strategies that will benefit the profession in the years ahead.

The following pages include perspectives on 2010–2011 presented in the form of quotes and statistics from and about the year.

“Instead of programming for a mythical ‘average alumnus’ who is interested in most of the institution’s engagement opportunities, alumni professionals are focusing more narrowly on two groups: the tiny fraction of alumni who are already loyal members, donors and volunteers, and the larger, more fickle group of alumni who are willing to engage with alma mater, but only if they see opportunities that speak to their personal and professional needs.”

Andy Shaindlin Chair, CASE Commission on Alumni Relations Associate Vice President for Alumni Relations and Annual Giving, Carnegie Mellon University From “Are Your Alumni Being Served?,” Alumni Futures blog, Oct. 26, 2010

“Schools that recognize the importance of young alumni as budding philanthropists are smartly taking a long-term view. Our research shows that young alumni giving patterns demonstrate that they are more like stars than slackers in their giving behavior.”

Mood of Alumni 2010, Engagement Strategies Group, July 2010

Rachel Dyson, chair of the International CASE Alumni Relations Survey analysis group, says she found it reassuring that the ICARS data demonstrate that it “takes time to develop a successful alumni relations program, and that given time and investment, it is possible to create a ‘successful’ program that delivers tangible results for your institution.”

“CASE Survey Reveals Most Successful Alumni Relations Services, Activities,” BriefCASE, June 2011

Alumni who spend more time reading their institution’s magazine are more likely to say they donate to their alma mater. Among those who spend 30–59 minutes with an issue, 34 percent said they donated as a result. In contrast, among those spending 60 minutes or more with the magazine each issue, 41 percent said that they made a donation.”

“Gone are the days when alumni associations spent most of their time and resources on social activities such as homecoming and reunions. We are now responsible for advancing our institutions through fund-raising, recruitment and research; enhancing student life; and helping students and alumni find jobs. We are now strategists, and the goals we set must have measurable results that clearly benefit the institution.”

Jason Coolman, “The Science Behind Alumni Engagement: The University of Waterloo is crunching its alumni data,” CURRENTS, April 2011

Nearly 90 percent of alumni magazine readers agreed or strongly agreed that campus magazines strengthen their personal connection to their institutions.

CASE Member Magazine Readership Survey, February 2011

A significant percentage of community colleges—45 percent—do not dedicate resources for alumni relations.

Community College Foundations: An Analysis of a Survey Conducted by CASE, CASE White Paper, October 2010

Mood of Alumni 2010, Engagement Strategies Group, July 2010

Nearly all (92 percent) independent schools use online communities currently, and 9 percent plan to replace their existing system in the next two years. An additional 6 percent of institutions plan to implement their first online alumni community in the next two years.

“The role of the communications and marketing professional is changing rapidly, given the advent of social media, the 24/7 news cycle, pressure on print budgets and a general emphasis on doing more with less. Given multiple opportunities and limited resources, we must make strategic decisions with the mission of our institutions and the interests of its constituents squarely in mind.”

Kim Manning Chair, CASE Commission on Communications and Marketing Vice President for University Relations, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

96 percent of institutions are using social media tools and 37 percent plan to develop social media policies within the next year.

“Survey: More Institutions Developing Social Media Policies,” BriefCASE, April 2011

Lisa Lapin, chair of the CASE Institute for Senior Communications & Marketing professionals, discussed the benefits of mobile technology, the fastest-growing technology in the world. “It means instant on-site engagement. It means we can do location specific marketing, and …We can take people on real tours of our campuses from halfway around the world.”

“Fast-Growing Mobile Technology Platforms Increase Campus Connectivity,” BriefCASE, October 2010

The launch of Foursquare for Universities further encouraged campus marketers to add location-based social networking platforms to their institutions’ social media programs.

“Location, Location, Location,” CURRENTS, January 2011

Tracey Lancaster, a presenter at a CASE Europe conference, said that marketers in the United Kingdom must adapt and modify current marketing strategies in light of the “unprecedented challenges” facing educational institutions in England.

“Marketers Must Think Smarter in Leaner Times,” BriefCASE, March 2011

Twitter usage among communications professionals has jumped from 39 percent to 76 percent in two years. Their audience, however, is only using Twitter 32 percent of the time.

“Study: Use of Social Media in Public Relations Campaigns Growing,” Social Media Reality Check 2.0, June 2011

“Intentional efforts” to engage students via social media have been highly successful, though a lack of time and resources have prevented them from fully developing their networks.

“An Informal Look at Social Media Practices,” CASE Social Media blog, Aug. 16, 2010

69 percent of print budgets are frozen and 94 percent of respondents say their institutions are relying more on electronic publications. Viewbooks remain the sole publication primarily available in print only.

96 percent of institutions are still investing in print and more than half are investing more each year on interactive and social media.

“A number of institutions have stayed in campaign mode and are experiencing growth. At the same time, many are dealing with budget cuts. Expectations for raising new funds are high in this environment, even as prospective donors remain somewhat cautious in their philanthropy. What does not seem to change, however, is the desire to make gifts that are relevant, have an impact and meet urgent needs.”

Sarah Pearson Chair, CASE Commission on Philanthropy Chief Development Officer, Broad Institute

The most effective method for informing donors about the potential for matching gifts was direct interaction with donors during phonathons, followed by separate solicitation and stand-alone notification to individuals with an employment record reflecting matching gift potential.

2011 Matching Gifts Best Practices Survey, www.SupportingAdvancement.com, 2011

87 percent of financial advisers expected income taxes to increase for most of their clients in the following 12 to 18 months; one in four predicted that their clients would increase charitable giving in order to offset tax hikes.

86 percent of respondents who made charitable donations via text message said they would consider making larger contributions using another method.

Text Giving Donor Survey Report, mGive Foundation, February 2011

A Blackbaud global survey on the state of the nonprofit industry revealed that donors worldwide are demanding more accountability of nonprofits, with 40 to 80 percent of respondent organizations receiving requests from donors for reports on how donations are spent.

Expanded CASE on Campus to bring tailored workshops of content-specific training to advancement staff on college and university campuses in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region

“In general, donors who have education as a central philanthropic focus are more likely to fund first and more generously the institutions from which they last earned a degree. The challenge for independent schools is to make the case why education at the primary or secondary level matters as much as the education received at a college or university. This needs to be front and center as part of one’s advancement strategy.”

Paul Sheff Chair–Elect, CASE Board of Trustees President, Catholic Memorial School

The largest campaign goal remained at $3.5 billion, after highs of $4.0 billion in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Perhaps reflecting the lingering effects of the recession, the number of campaigns of $1 billion and above in the 2010 report is essentially even with the number in the 2009 edition and about half of the number in the 2008 edition.

CASE Campaign Report 2010

International philanthropy and fundraising for higher education is a topic of urgent attention for colleges and universities around the world. … In this new world, successful fundraisers cannot hide behind the safety and comfort of their own culture and familiar practices, prejudices and assumptions. They have to go out and learn—and invent—new ways of working and also to think hard about their practice.

Foreword, Across Frontiers: New International Perspectives on Educational Fundraising (CASE, 2010)

The 2010 Voluntary Support of Education survey reported charitable contributions increased 0.5 per-cent, reaching $28 billion, though alumni giving and average alumni gift each declined by 0.4 percent.

“Community colleges are focused on building meaningful relationships with alumni, creating community partnerships, growing our donor base, making the transition to a culture of major gift fundraising and deploying integrated marketing and brand development to help our audiences understand how we are distinctive.”

Cassie McVeety Chair, CASE Board of Trustees Vice President of College Advancement and Executive Director–MHCC Foundation, Mt. Hood Community College

Lack of staff and financial resources were a significant challenge for 50 percent of advancement professionals in higher education and 38 percent of those at independent schools.

Use of Technology for Development and Alumni Relations Among CASE Members, SunGard Higher Education/CASE White Paper, July 2010

In general, public institutions employ roughly three times the number of fundraisers as do private institutions. However, compared to fundraisers at public institutions, those at private institutions are expected to raise more funds toward the goal and per student.

CASE Campaign Report 2010

63 percent of surveyed institutions have a hybrid institutional communications structure with a mix of centralized and decentralized offices; 23 percent have a centralized structure.

Benchmarking Campus Communications and Marketing Programs: A Look at Policies, Structures, Tools and Audiences, CASE/University of Florida White Paper, August 2010

Alumni relations and development departments are seeing mutual benefits from breaking down traditional barriers and working hand-in-hand. “It has never been more critical for alumni relations offices and the development teams to work so closely together as it is today,” says John Feudo, associate vice president for alumni relations at Boston College.

“Alumni Relations, Fundraising Benefit from Working Together,” BriefCASE, December 2010

The top five factors influencing advancement salaries, in order, are management responsibility (type and number of direct and indirect reports), years in the profession, advancement discipline, highest academic degree earned and, tied for fifth, geographic region and gender.

“Paycheck: Preliminary Results of the 2011 CASE Compensation Survey,” Presentation, February 2011

Independent schools spent an average of 2 percent of their total operating budgets on marketing and communications activities.

A Report on Marketing Spending at Colleges and Universities, Lipman Hearne, July 2010

Yes, the salary gap still exists, although it’s closing slowly. A statistical analysis that equalizes for gender showed that female survey respondents made $10,750 less than the men in 2011, compared with $11,890 in 2008 and $12,900 in 2005. Narrowing at the rate of roughly $1,100 every three years, the gap will be closed by 2040 if nothing changes.

“Pay Attention: A look at trends in advancement compensation,” CURRENTS, July/August 2011

47.7 percent of the 130 community college foundation respondents indicated that marketing/public relations/media relations was within the scope of work of the foundation’s chief staff officer; 96.2 percent indicated major gifts was part of that staff person’s role.
