This issue outlines essential contextual issues in institutional advancement, provides strategies from institutions that have successfully addressed fundraising over the past ten years, and outlines major issues that must be considered in communitiy college fundraising. Looking at the fundraising picture for higher education over the past ten years, one would have to argue that there have been major successes in garnering support from the private sector for educational institutions. From billion-dollar capital campaigns to individuals donating millions for medial research and other educational activities, record support for higher education is at hand. Yet in the midst of this community largesses, community colleges have not fared as well. Their traditional funding streams have begun to dry up, and they are increasingly turning to fundraising as a major method to support their vital missions to provide open-access and high quality postsecondary education. Many community colleges are relative new to fundraising and are just beginning to develop tools, techniques, and strategies that make sense for them. This is the 124th issue of the quarterly higher education journal New Directions for Community Colleges.

Sustaining fiscal support for community colleges has becoming increasingly difficult in an era marked by recurrent recessions, legislator reluctance to raise taxes, and intense competition for scarce resources from health care, K-12 education, and other pressing demands on state treasuries. After introductory chapters that provide historical, political, and economic perspectives on the fiscal environment in which commuity colleges operate, this volume describes institutional approaches to securing adequate funding in the face of fiscal uncertainty. Chapter authors provide guidelines for fundraising, leveraging corporate support through cooperative education programs, securing government grants for workforce development, managing mill levy elections for increased local tax support, and realigning budget priorities in the face of economic downturns. The volume also discusses the implications of today's changing fiscal environment for community college presidents and the skills they need to sustain adequate funding in the face of unpredictable revenue streams. This is the 132nd volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Community Colleges.
