New Funds Secured 2020

“New funds secured” provides a comprehensive measure of the impact and effectiveness of fund-raising efforts in a given year, capturing the value of new cash gifts, gifts of securities, gifts of real property, and other gifts in-kind as well as the total value of new gift commitments and pledges secured of up to five years duration.

Funds secured includes—

  1. New single cash gifts received in-year; plus
  2. New non-bequest pledges received in-year counted at their value for a duration of up to five years; plus
  3. New recurring gifts and direct debt orders at their duration for up to five years or their specified termination date, if less than five years; plus
  4. The documented value (provided by the receiving institution’s broker on the day that the gifts were received) of financial instruments and gifts in-kind received in-year; plus
  5. Cash, the documented value (provided by the receiving institution’s broker on the day that the gifts were received) of financial instruments and gifts in-kind received in-year from bequests.

Funds secured excludes cash received in-year from pledges. Bequest commitments are not counted in funds secured, due to the level of uncertainty as to when the funds may be received.

Change in New Funds Secured (2020-2019)

New funds secured from 2019 was subtracted from 2020 for each institution, and the difference was divided by the 2019 total to get a percent change. A positive number indicates that New Funds Secured increased from 2019 to 2020 and a negative number shows the opposite.

New Funds Secured per Student FTE 2020

New Funds Secured was divided by student FTE for the 2020 data. This serves to normalize the impact of institution size on funds secured, which provides a more equitable comparison.
