Report of the Office of Development

For the eighth consecutive year the total of gifts and grants from private sources to Dartmouth exceeded $10,000,000. The total for fiscal '74-75 was off from recent years owing largely to abnormally low bequests, but the final figures do nevertheless reflect a strong performance in unrestricted and current use gifts.

Since; the formal establishment of the Office of Development in 1954, gifts from all private sources have totaled $216,705,637. The pattern of growth over the years shows the impact of both the Capital Gifts Campaign (1957-60) and the Third Cen- tury Fund (1967-70), as well as the positive carry-over effect which each has had in moving the College to higher levels of private source gift receipts.

The programs or sources which have produced this total of gifts reflect the breadth of responsibility of the Office of Development and the effectiveness of those countless alumni involved as volunteers both formally and on an ad hoc basis with Dartmouth's fund-raising efforts.

Twenty-one Year Totals by Program or Source

Capital, Plant & Other $71,257,205 Bequests 41,112,210 Foundation Gifts & Grants 37,786,753 Alumni Fund 37,573,148 Corporation Gifts.& Grants 17,091,121 Life Income Trusts 11,885,200

Over the years better than 60% of these gifts and grants have been designated as additions to endowment or for plant facilities. The remainder has been for current use either unrestricted or in support of specific programs or purposes. For the sake of clarity, we emphasize that these are gifts from private sources and do not include grants from government agencies, which over the same period have approximated $80,000,000.

For the 1974-75 fiscal year just concluded, the $11,058,487 realized from the private sector came from the following programs or sources:

Alumni Fund $4,201,594 Tuck Annual Giving 135,222 Bequests 1,254,460 Life Income Trusts 611,950 Foundations 1,437,320 Corporations 951,532 Capital, Plant & Other 2,466,409

On the following pages are detailed reports of the two major programs of the Office of Development - The 1975 Alumni Fund report, and the 25th anniversary summary report of the Bequest and Estate Planning Program. These two Programs, together with periodic capital campaigns, are dependent in large measure on alumni support and they give abundant testimony to the great strength of both donor and volunteer spirit for which Dartmouth is envied by Private institutions everywhere.
