520 |a This study identified undergraduate and post-college activities/experiences that may affect alumni giving. The Input-Environment-Output model, developed by Alexander Astin, along with multivariate statistical analysis served as the framework to analyze various input, environmental, and outcome variables. A review of the literature covers fund-raising methods and techniques, relationships between institutional characteristics and fund-raising, and the effect of student characteristics on fund-raising. Income variables were comprised of various student characteristics at the time the students first entered college as freshmen. The environmental variables encompassed both undergraduate experiences and post-college activities and experiences over a 20-year period. The output or outcomes (dependent) variable was represented by the level of contributions reported. The sample was 299 alumni of Pepperdine University (California) who had completed a comprehensive survey as freshmen between 1973 and 1976. Analysis suggested that undergraduate experiences were not a good basis for predicting alumni contributions. Among alumni, involvement in alumni activities and income were the best predictors of contributions. (Contains 17 references.) (DB)
