  2. Types of Private Gifts • Individual gifts from alumni, parents and friends • Business and association gifts. • Corporate. • Foundation gifts.

  3. Methods of Giving • Planned gifts (trusts, bequests, life income agreements). • Real estate gifts. • Stock gifts. • Property gifts. • Cash and securities gifts. • Pledges (up to 5 years duration). • Combination of the above.

  4. Who makes charitable gifts? • Individuals make up 90% of charitable gifts, and nearly half of the dollars given to higher education. • Recent studies show that the top 1% of donors give as much as 70% of the money, and the top 10% of donors may give as much as 95%.

  5. Prospect Types • Those who see a need and respond without being asked. • Those who respond when simply told of a need. • Those who will respond when persuaded. • Those who may or may not respond, even when heavily encouraged. • The “Inert Fifth” – Nothing could ever get them to give.

  6. Kinds of Gifts Made by Individuals • Regular Gifts • Made repeatedly and at regular intervals. • Timing relates largely to the calendar. • Usually the smallest gifts the individual will make. • Generally raised through Speculative Fund Raising, which focuses on asking for gifts—based on the speculation that if you ask enough people for gifts, a sufficient number will respond favorably to make the effort worthwhile. • Examples include: direct mail appeals, phonathons, telethons.

  7. Kinds of Gifts Made by Individuals • Special Gifts • Made to help meet a special need. • Usually made to an institution that the giver also supports with regular gifts. • The need of the institution receiving the gifts influences their timing. • Increased investment on preparation of the donor for the request. • Examples include: campaign / project fund raising. • Typically 5 to 10 times larger than regular gifts.

  8. Kinds of Gifts Made by Individuals • Ultimate Gifts • Largest philanthropic commitment the giver can make. • Factors in the giver’s life most influence the timing. • Generally raised through Nurturing Fund Raising, which focuses on the prospective donor’s sense of commitment to the institution over time. • Examples include: trust or bequest. • Typically 1,000 to 10,000 times larger than regular gifts and funds usually go toward endowment.

  9. The Cycle of Giving

  10. Summary • The more significant the gift, the more personalized the cultivation and stewardship. • The larger the gift, the longer it is likely to take; the higher the expectations will be for stewardship. • It is all about the relationship building with people who can make a difference at UCR.
