Data obtained in survey questionnaires were analyzed through the use of descriptive statistics including medians, upper quartiles, lower quartiles, interquartile ranges, means, and percentages to discover relationships between the level of gift income and institutional characteristics, commitments to fund-raising, fund-raising experience, and fund-raising techniques. The findings of the study support the importance of the establishment of an institutionally-related foundation in gaining gift income. Funds established by campuses within systemwide foundations have lower median gift incomes than separate campus foundations. There is no consistent relationship between type of institution, enrollment, and educational and general expenditures and the level of gift income received although the six largest institutions received the highest level of gift income. There is no consistent relationship between the expenditures on private fund raising and the gift income received, a finding attributed to a lack of uniformity in attributing expenditures to fund raising. Median gift income increases with increases in FTE professional development staff and time spent on fund-raising by campus CEOs and foundation or fund boards. The data of the establishment of the foundation or fund and the median gift income received are inversely related. The relationships between assets and distributions and gift income received are not consistent. The more years of experience in private fund raising of the chief development professional and of the campus CEO, the higher the level of median gift income. Gift income increases with the use of each fund-raising technique. The more techniques utilized by an institution, the higher its level of median gift income.
