| Voluntary Support of Education Survey
CAE's Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) survey is the authoritative national source of information on private giving to higher education and private K-12, consistently capturing about 85 percent of the total voluntary support to colleges and universities in the United States. CAE has managed the survey as a public service for over 50 years.
The most recent report, for the 2011 fiscal year, demonstrated that private contributions to America’s higher education institutions increased 8.2 percent to $30.30 billion.
The VSE Survey is conducted entirely online, and educational institutions and other users can access comparative data with CAE's powerful VSE Data Miner service. |
VSE Data Miner
VSE Data Miner is a web-based service which provides subscribers - predominantly schools, colleges, and universities - interactive access to 300 data variables about private giving collected annually through the VSE Survey. (Among the data variables are: total giving; alumni participation; details on deferred and bequest giving; capital purposes and current operations gifts).
Subscribers have access to 10 years worth of survey data, and are able to examine multi-year trends in fundraising, to graph and chart data, and to research fundraising and make institution-to-institution comparisons. Educational institutions use the service to benchmark their performance against peer institutions and analyze the results of their fundraising efforts among alumni, foundations, corporations and others. |
