New publication: Giving in evidence: Fundraising from philanthropy in European universities

This report presents the results of the first large-scale study of philanthropic funding in European universities in general, and specifically in support of research. It covers individual donors, charitable trusts and foundations and private corporations, analysing the wide range of contextual and institutional factors affecting success and failure in fundraising from philanthropic sources, the distribution of efforts and outcomes of fundraising activities, ways in which philanthropic contributions are used to support research, and the positive and negative impacts of receiving this source of funding. The wealth of data gathered through this study provides a much-needed basis for any future enquiries in the field of fundraising from philanthropy for research in European universities.
