The focus was on programming designed for and offered to baby-boomer alumni and on fundraising activities connected with alumni educational programs. The study population consisted of 35 institutions. A preliminary telephone survey and a self-administered questionnaire were used for data collection.","The findings of this study indicated three major conclusions. First, off-campus, nonresidential continuing education programs were not designed exclusively for and targeted to baby-boomer alumni. The most prevalent method for segmenting the alumni market was geographic segmentation, and all of the programs were targeted to alumni in a specific geographic region. However, baby-boomer alumni participated in these programs and accounted for 49% of the total program attendance.","Second, differences existed between private and public institutions both in off-campus, nonresidential alumni continuing education and in fundraising activities connected with alumni educational programs. Private colleges and universities offered more off-campus, nonresidential alumni continuing education than did public institutions. Private institutions were also more likely to underwrite program costs than were public institutions, and program subsidies at private institutions tended to be larger than those at public institutions.","Third, educational programming for alumni may enhance the prospects of private philanthropy. A high positive correlation existed between number of programs offered and each of the institutional variables of market value of endowment (.748); alumni financial support (.788); and total voluntary, financial support (.755). Even though other factors most likely affect these institutional variables, educational programming for alumni appears to enhance the prospects of private philanthropy. Longitudinal studies of the giving patterns of alumni who participate in continuing education should be designed, and additional research should be done on the correlation between participation in continuing education and philanthropy.","Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:15:05Z (GMT).
