[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Total dollars are up mainly from a few large donors. Well documented alumni annual giving rates are down. Schools like Holy Cross school with perhaps highest giving rate, Notre Dame and maybe Davidson are outliers as these 3 are more moderate. Whole thread on here recently about Princeton’s decline and Duke is also much lower. Would be interested in what Vanderbilt’s alumni giving rates is now.[/quote]

This is mostly incorrect.

Giving rates across the board have dropped across the board but not significantly at top schools. A quick review of giving rates and trends shows that Princeton is has the highest giving rate and that they are are an outlier because they are a University. Of the top 10 schools for giving rates 4 are NESCAC schools and 9 are SLACS. Of the top 20 schools 18 are SLACs which say a lot about how their Alumni feel about the education that they received. The outliers are Princeton and West Point. The only schools in the top 20 with increasing giving rates are West Point and St. Thomas Aquinas, a small non-selective Catholic liberal arts school in CA. Davidson and Holy Cross are top 10 schools for giving rates but both are declining like the others. Vanderbilt doesn't make the top 50 for giving rates and most Ivies outside of Princeton have giving rates that are about half of the top NESCAC schools.[/quote]
