“…Philanthropic scholarship focused on HBCUs remains siloed. The extant literature on HBCU philanthropy can be categorized into three broad domains: individuals' philanthropy focused on student and alumni giving (Cohen, 2006;Drezner, 2010;Gasman & Anderson-Thompkins, 2003;Gasman & Bowman, 2011;Hunter et al, 1999;Williams, 2010), corporate and foundation giving (Gasman, 2010;Gasman & Drezner, 2008), and historical examinations of philanthropy's role in the development of HBCUs (Anderson, 1988;Anderson & Moss Jr., 1999;Freeman, 2010;Gasman, 2007;Peeps, 1981;Williamson, 2017).…”

“…Most of the research related to student and alumni giving is based on qualitative interviews, with a few surveys and all but a few have relatively small samples. Cohen (2006) surveyed a sample of 1,0000 alumni from four HBCUs, finding that the 12% response rate revealed the lack of engagement and a skew in responders' high regard for their alma maters while also expressing concern for their institutions' financial health. Gasman & Anderson-Thompkins (2003) also conducted a survey, in addition to interviews, and found that HBCU alumni were hesitant to give if they ascribed negative attributions to institutional staff throughout the university, from financial aid representatives to the registrar's office.…”

This paper focuses on philanthropic donations to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) during the first two decades of the twenty-first century, from 2003 to 2021. We examine these years to capitalize on the census of available years in our data source and to also examine the shifts in foundation giving over time. We offer a descriptive overview detailing which philanthropic organizations have provided the largest share of support, the HBCUs receiving these gifts, and the areas for support targeted through these donations. In doing so, our manuscript offers a novel contribution to scholarship on philanthropic giving to HBCUs using an original database of major U.S. philanthropies' annual reports joined with secondary data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) maintained by the National Center for Education Statistics.

“…Much like HSIs, there are just a few thematic areas where the research exists. These include: individuals' philanthropy focused on student and alumni giving (Cohen, 2006;Drezner, 2010;Gasman & Anderson-Thompkins, 2003;Gasman & Bowman, 2012Hunter et al, 1999;Williams, 2010), corporate and foundation giving (Gasman, 2010;Gasman & Drezener, 2008), and historical examinations of philanthropy's role in the development of HBCUs (J.

In this paper, we focused on the decade of philanthropic funding before the current increase in philanthropy to HSIs (2006/2018). We offered a descriptive overview detailing which philanthropic foundations have provided the largest share of support, the HSIs receiving these gifts, and the areas of focus targeted by these donations. We contributed to the scholarship on philanthropic giving to HSIs using an original dataset.

Prior research determined a number of factors influencing alumni donor behaviour, such as individual factors (Tohidinia and Mosakhani, 2010;Cohen, 2006), interpersonal factors (Eckel et al, 2017;Meer, 2011), and organisational factors (Shaari et al, 2019a;Sura et al, 2016;Baruch & Sang, 2012).…”

In scenarios where alumni giving is uncommon, the present study seeks to construct a conceptual framework to examine the possible predictors that may influence alumni giving behavioural intention to public universities in the Malaysian context. An extended theory of planned behaviour was incorporated into the conceptual framework to offer a comprehensive elaboration of alumni giving behavioural intention, encompassing attitude towards giving, subjective norms, facilitating conditions, and tax exemption as a moderator. This conceptual study provides new information on important predictors related to the determinants of alumni behavioural intention by examining four constructs (attitude towards giving, subjective norms, facilitating condition, and tax exemption), which could predict the contributory factors that influence alumni's giving intention to their alma mater.
