<p>Excerpts:</p>

<p>"University of Michigan is on the precipice of another large fundraising campaign, Vice President for Development Jerry May told a group of faculty members Monday.</p>

<p>U-M's last fundraising campaign "The Michigan Difference," which ended in 2008, raised $3.2 billion dollars over five years. The school raised $273 million in fiscal 2010-2011, an increase of 7 percent over the previous year.</p>

<p>"Knock, knock!!" Mr. Page, are you home?? :p</p>

<p>P.S. Personally, I think it's a great strategic move from Michigan's Development Office. I only wish MSU would start doing the same! After all, Mr. Eli Broad had already donated approx. $half-billion to both Harvard and MIT, in addition to UCLA, UCSF, Cal Tech & USC since he has been living in CA for the last few decades.</p>

<p>Not much of a war to be held - Harvard is slated to announce its fundraising campaign soon enough, and it’s rumored to be upwards of $10 billion. It’s definitely going to be at least $7 billion (can’t be one-upped by USC and Stanford, now can it?).</p>

<p>Just saw this list by ‘goldenboy8784’ from last month while I was away… lol</p>

<p>In short, based on the article, I think Michigan’s probably pegging its endowment against schools in the last column (particularly based on 'Endowment $‘s Per Student’).</p>

<p>Quote:</p>

<p>"Ohio State is 10th in fundraising nationally</p>

<p>A new national survey of public and private universities ranks The Ohio State University 10th among public universities in the United States for total private support based on a three-year average, up from 11th last year. Ohio State was also named the top university in Ohio for fundraising.</p>

<p>The Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) survey is conducted annually by the Council for Aid to Education (CAE), a national nonprofit organization that is the country’s sole source of empirical data on private giving to education. Overall, the VSE found that despite a challenging economic climate, charitable contributions to U.S. colleges and universities in 2011 grew by 8.2 percent, reaching $30.3 billion.</p>

<p>In fiscal year 2011, which ended June 30, philanthropy at Ohio State was marked by the following milestones:</p>

<pre><code>* A record 177,322 donors gave an unprecedented $259 million to Ohio State

  • Total fundraising, including pledges and bequests, topped out at a record $407.6 million

  • Ohio State alumnus and former Board of Trustees Chair Leslie H. Wexner and the Limited Brands Foundation committed $100 million to the university, the largest gift in its history

  • The two-and-a-half-year Students First, Students Now fundraising initiative for student support concluded June 30 having surpassed its $100 million goal by $14 million

<p>Although the school is in the middle of a successful $2.5 billion fundraising campaign - plus the $4.1 billion cash flow and $1.4 billion gift endowment on top of approx. $2.2 billion endowment and annual $500 million state appropriation, I am not certain if TOSU will be able to make the list by 2020 due to its large student body and astronomical future spending in order to make the Top-10 Public ranking. The school is currently making $1 billion revenue a year from the tuition and $2 billion revenue from the hospital operation. hmm…</p>
