[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notre Dame and Holy Crioss alumni contibute at a much higher rate around 50% than Georgetown. Gtown endowment is an embarrassment compared to ND.[/quote] Current giving is not why Georgetown’s endowment is so much lower than ND’s (and other peer schools’). It’s because Georgetown started fundraising in earnest less than 50 years ago—and even then it took a couple of decades to start getting significant gifts. The schools with large endowments have been doing it much longer, which means their endowments have grown exponentially over that time. Annual giving, the type measured by participation rates, is a teeny tiny drop in the bucket; obviously it’s important to have an engaged alumni base (which both schools have), but it’s endowment growth + the very small number of new, 7-10 figure gifts to the endowment that move the dial.[/quote]
