Since their inception, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have struggled to secure the resources they need to thrive, and unfortunately this trend continues today. Of the one hundred five HBCUs in existence, only a few have achieved notable fundraising success. This situation raises several questions. What are HBCUs that have achieved success in fundraising doing differently from those that have not? What are the fundraising challenges that HBCUs face? What steps should HBCUs take to strengthen their fundraising infrastructures? What does an HBCU institutional advancement professional need to know to be effective in his/her role? What does the future of HBCU fundraising programs look like and what does it need to become? This literature review focuses on what HBCU institutional advancement professionals can learn in terms of improving their effectiveness from studying the current best practices and challenges at HBCUs. It also provides recommendations for enhancing the future trajectory of HBCU fundraising programs and suggests new strategies to foster greater success.

Abstract Fundraising is a critical element for the success and survival of higher education institutions. These institutions are all dependent on financial contributions from alumni as well as philanthropic organizations and private benefactors to support the institution. The presidents of these institutions are instrumental in seeking and obtaining funds in order to maintain the stability of these colleges and universities. Presidents should be knowledgeable of the nuances that make an institution successful and must aim to create those environments. The purpose of this qualitative investigation was to examine college presidents' approaches to fundraising at selected Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCUs) in the South Eastern region of the United States (US). This study examined the strategies employed by these institutions and particularly their presidents. It also examined the philosophies, experiences, and fundraising strategies currently being employed by the selected college and university presidents. In this study a blend of existing theories was used to construct the conceptual framework. Therefore, the conceptual framework addressed the cultural and social aspects of race and the role it plays in the participant's environment through the use of Critical Race Theory and the relationship between presidents and benefactors through Social Exchange Theory. Stakeholder Theory defines those groups within an organization without whose support the organization would cease to exist (Freeman, Harrison, Wicks, Parmar, & DeColle, 2012). In this study, stakeholder theory was used to address and identify the parties that exist to support the organization such as the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, students and alumni, as well as how these stakeholders' interests are met. Lastly, Transformational Leadership Theory was used to address the leadership elements of the participants and how they communicate their vision and strategies for their fundraising campaigns. The results of the study, which intended to explore the experiences of presidents as they seek funds on behalf of their college or university, revealed that while the president of the institution is responsible for leading the fundraising efforts, additional entities also play a major role in the institution's ability to successfully raise funds. Analysis of the data using a thematic approach produced themes regarding the president's role in fundraising, the importance of messaging, fundraising strategies and barriers to fundraising. Implications for leaders of HBCUs include investing in and providing resources for the advancement office as that is the foundation for successful fundraising, actively and aggressively embracing fundraising as the primary duty in their role as president and selecting members with proven track records of giving for the Board of Trustees as they play a critical role in fundraising for the institution. Understanding the participants' experiences and the challenges they face can greatly assist others currently in the field as well as incoming presidents as they assume the role as leaders of an HBCU institution.

The purpose of this study was to examine presidents' approaches to fundraising at four-year historically black colleges and universities. The study also explored presidential leadership and how it informs presidents' fundraising efforts. Both private and public institutions were represented in this study. Religious and non-religious affiliated colleges and universities were representative of private institutions. Institutional types for public institutions were land-grant and urban, comprehensive. This study employed a qualitative research method to gather data from the participating institutional leaders. A case study design and qualitative analytic procedures were utilized to derive meaning from collected data. Triangulation was used to retrieve data from various sources. Data sources consisted of semi-structured interviews, observations and documents. Four case studies were used for this study. The qualitative methodology of purposive sampling was utilized to select institutional leaders. Institutional leaders were selected from four-year historically black colleges and universities located in the Southeastern region of the United States. The Southeastern region of the United States was selected due to its high concentration of four-year historically black colleges and universities. Additionally, this study was guided by three research questions that centered on the approaches, role as institutional leader and leadership characteristics of presidents regarding fundraising at four-year, private and public historically black colleges and universities. There were variations among presidents in their approaches to fundraising. For the president of Lee University, fundraising was approached through the means of various types of campaigns. They were: traditional, continuing and interim. The use of each campaign was determined by specific institutional needs. The president of Monroe University approached fundraising from an individualistic perspective. He believed that major gift fundraising should be, solely, the responsibility of the institutional leader. There were similarities in the approach to fundraising for presidents of Verona and Wren Universities. They employed a more inclusive approach based on the notion that everyone is a fundraiser. There was a consensus in regard to the role of institutional leader in fundraising among presidents. Overall, there was unanimity in the belief that presidential leadership is essential to the success of fundraising. Furthermore, each president's perspective on the role as leader suggested that a president's ability to effectively articulate his or her institutional vision was also a shared belief. All four presidents exhibited a different leadership characteristic in relation to institutional fundraising. They were: situational (Lee University), authoritarian (Monroe University), democratic (Verona University), and charismatic (Wren University). Moreover, these varying leadership characteristics were reflective of each president's overall style of leadership.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the importance of increasing fund development at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Increasing the endowments at HBCUs means placing more emphasis on cultivating alumni and educating them about the importance of philanthropy. Advancement professionals at these specialized institutions face a growing dilemma--how to strengthen university resources in a climate that has historically relied almost wholly on public funding. Public HBCUs will eventually be forced to identify private resources to survive and thrive. Identifying an effective model for fundraising is the first step.
