Mission
The mission of the University Development Office is to enhance the mission
of Central Connecticut State University through voluntary contributions
from alumni, parents, non-alumni friends, corporations, foundations and
other charitable organizations. Philanthropic support is increasingly more
important as traditional sources of funding decline.
The University Development Office focuses on non-governmental support and
non-competitive grants. Governmental and private competitive sources of
funding are handled by the Office of Sponsored Programs.
Our Role in Fund Raising
The Vice President for Institutional Advancement is the executive officer in charge
of University advancement. The Director of Development is the chief advancement
officer responsible for all activities which relate to the identification,
cultivation and solicitation of gifts from internal and external constituencies.
The fund-raising objectives of the University Development Office are focused
primarily on the priorities contained in the strategic plan of the University.
The University Development Office will assist departments with programs
or projects in need of external funding. Faculty and administrators seeking
voluntary support need to contact the University Development Office for
assistance very early in the process. The Development Office will assist
in preparing case materials, identifying sources of support, cultivating
prospective donors and ultimately soliciting prospective donors.
All programs and projects presented to the University Development Office
for external funding must be reviewed and approved by the presenter's Department
Head, Dean, and Vice President.
Solicitation Policy
Effective fund raising requires that prospects are not presented with multiple
requests from different departments simultaneously. To ensure effective
solicitation efforts, no prospects may be solicited without the advance
approval of the Vice President for Institutional Advancement. Approval to solicit
prospects should be requested through the Director of Development.
CCSU Foundation, Inc.
The CCSU Foundation, Inc. is the non-profit, eleemosynary organization authorized
to accept contributions to benefit Central Connecticut State University.
All contributions must be presented to the CCSU Foundation in care of the
University Development Office immediately upon receipt for proper recording
and acknowledgment. The establishment of dedicated or restricted funds,
the acceptance of contributions and the disbursement of funds are subject
to all policies and procedures of the Foundation.
