Growth in charitable giving to US higher education falls.
US higher-education institutions reported that the value of charitable donations they received grew 5.2% for the 2013–14 academic year, according to survey results from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) in Washington DC. The institutions also predicted a growth of 5.7% for 2014–15. Community colleges, which offer basic tertiary education, reported a 7.2% growth in giving for 2013–14, compared with 5% for public and private universities that offer full, four-year degrees. The average yearly growth over 20 years is 5.9%. CASE polls institutions twice a year on actual and predicted giving.
