The findings, based on an annual survey of higher education institutions, suggest that charitable giving to higher education institutions did not slow in fiscal 2024. That's despite sectorwide headwinds including painful cost increases, rising scrutiny from state and federal lawmakers, and questions about its value.

根据对高等教育机构的年度调查得出的调查结果表明，对高等教育机构的慈善捐赠并没有减缓财政2024。尽管存在整个部门的不利因素，包括痛苦的成本增加，州和联邦立法者的审查日益严格，以及对其价值的质疑。

“At a time when higher education faces financial and political scrutiny, this sustained giving is a powerful vote of confidence,” Sue Cunningham, president and CEO of CASE, said in a statement.

“在高等教育面临财务和政治审查的时候，这种持续的捐赠是一次强有力的信任投票，” CASE总裁兼首席执行官Sue Cunningham在一份声明中说。

Strong market conditions in fiscal 2024 likely helped boost charitable donations, as giving to colleges tends to rise when the economy does well, according to CASE’s report. In 2024, both the New York Stock Exchange and the U.S.' gross domestic product saw increases.

凯斯的报告称，2024财年强劲的市场状况可能有助于增加慈善捐款，因为当经济表现良好时，对大学的捐款往往会增加。在2024，纽约证券交易所和美国的国内生产总值都出现了增长。

“Voluntary support of higher education institutions in the U.S. expanded at a level between the two, illustrating that the level of giving is based on both economic factors,” the report said.

“美国高等教育机构的自愿支持在两者之间扩大，说明捐赠水平是基于两个经济因素，” 报告说。

Foundations weren't alone in increasing their charitable giving to the higher education sector in fiscal 2024.

在2024财年，并非只有基金会在增加对高等教育部门的慈善捐赠。

Alumni gave $12.9 billion, up 4.4% from the year before, while non-alumni donated $8.9 billion, a 1.7% increase. Donor-advised funds — many of which are funded by alumni, according to CASE — gave $6.5 billion in fiscal 2024, representing an 8.9% jump from the prior year.

校友捐赠了129亿美元，比前一年增加了4.4% 美元，而非校友捐赠了89亿美元，增幅1.7%。根据凯斯的说法，捐赠者建议的基金-其中许多是由校友资助的-在2024财年提供了65亿美元，比上一年8.9% 增长。

Among donor-restricted gifts to colleges’ endowments, 48.3% were designated for student financial aid in fiscal 2024. Roughly a quarter, 23%, went toward academic divisions, while another 15.9% went to employee compensation. The remainder was spread among research, athletics and student life.

在捐赠者限制捐赠给大学的捐赠中，有48.3% 个被指定用于财政2024的学生经济援助。23%，大约四分之一用于学术部门，而另15.9% 用于员工薪酬。其余的分布在研究，体育和学生生活中。

Groups also donate to colleges’ current operations. Among those contributions, 43.6% went toward research in fiscal 2024, 28.1% went toward academic divisions and 12.8% went toward athletics. Financial aid, employee compensation and student life received the rest.

团体还向大学的当前运营捐款。在这些捐款中，43.6% 用于财政2024的研究，28.1% 用于学术部门，12.8% 用于体育运动。经济援助，员工补偿和学生生活得到了休息。

The results also indicate the number and value of gifts of securities, such as stocks, are rising. In fiscal 2024, 240 surveyed colleges said they received $2.4 billion in securities spread across nearly 28,200 gifts. That’s compared to $1.7 billion across around 24,400 gifts the previous year. The report also noted that gifts of securities are “worth more in a more robust market.”

结果还表明，股票等有价证券的数量和价值正在上升。在2024财年，240所接受调查的大学表示，他们收到了24亿美元的证券，涉及近28,200份礼物。相比之下，去年约24,400件礼物的价格为17亿美元。该报告还指出，赠送证券 “在更强劲的市场中更有价值”。
