OU Receives National Award for Overall Performance in Private Fundraising
db/7-23-2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NORMAN – The University of Oklahoma has won top honors nationally for the third time in seven years for its overall performance in private fundraising. OU is one of only 13 public and private research/doctoral institutions to be honored with the 2009 CASE-WealthEngine Award in Educational Fund Raising from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.
“We are so pleased to be recognized for our accomplishments in fundraising, which is a true testament to the generous spirit of our alumni and friends and to the visionary leadership of David and Molly Shi Boren,” said Tripp Hall, vice president for University Development.
“Last year, we saw a significant increase in giving to endowed chairs and professorships during the closing days of the State Regents Endowment Program’s one-to-one match for privately endowed faculty positions,” said Hall, noting that OU has raised more than $1.4 billion in gifts and pledges since David Boren became OU’s president in 1994. “While gifts to endowed positions contributed greatly to our fundraising success, donors also stepped up to support other important efforts, including the Campaign for Scholarships and the Reforestation Campaign guided by Molly Shi Boren after all three of OU’s campuses were devastated by the historic December 2007 ice storm.”
The special CASE awards are presented annually for either overall performance or overall improvement in fundraising. Institutions cannot apply for the award but instead become eligible for consideration upon submission of data to the Council for Aid to Education’s Voluntary Support of Education survey for three or more consecutive years.
Colleges and universities are judged blindly, and the names of the institutions are not revealed until winners are selected.
Judges select award winners based on a number of factors, including the pattern of growth in total support; evaluation of what contributed to the total support figure; overall breadth in program areas; pattern of growth in each program area; pattern of donor growth among alumni donors and other individual donors; impact of the 12 largest gifts on total support; total support in relation to the alumni base; and the type of institution.
OU joins Yale University, Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Pennsylvania, Indiana University, UCLA, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, University of North Carolina, University of Texas at Austin, University of Virginia, and the University of
Wisconsin-Madison in being honored for overall performance in private fundraising.
The University of Oklahoma has consistently set private fundraising
records. In the 2008 fiscal year, OU raised $273.3 million in
cash, gifts-in-kind and pledges, including $199.5 million in cash
and gifts-in-kind. The previous high mark was $138.9 million in cash and gifts-in-kind, recorded in FY07. OU previously won the award in 2002 and 2006.
