| Abstract | Government matching fund programs, at their most fundamental level, are state-based initiatives that match private donations to colleges and universities with public funds. These programs have proven to be effective methods of improving public colleges and universities and successful examples of public-private partnerships, which are key components of new funding models for education not only in the United States, but also elsewhere around the world. These programs supply public funds that supplement state-provided resources in support of public colleges and universities in general. This report and the research it reflects focus on government matching fund programs in the United States, Canada, Singapore, and Hong Kong--all of which have documented histories of such initiatives. In Singapore and Hong Kong, where postsecondary institutions are relatively few in number and generally similar in organization and structure, public matching fund programs have been developed and implemented at the federal levels of government. In the United States and Canada, where higher education institutions are numerous and highly diverse, government matching fund programs have been designed and carried out at state and province levels. Consequently, programs in the United States and Canada differ greatly in their design, implementation, and oversight. The success of government matching fund programs varies from program to program because of their unique characteristics and implementation schemes. They include the amount of available public funds, the health of the larger economy in a particular society or community, institutional capabilities, and to lesser degrees, legislative and political climates, the state of philanthropic giving in general, and applicable tax laws. The report concludes that government matching fund programs offer great promise for strengthening the quality of higher education and improving access to colleges and universities. The most successful programs challenge institutions and their supporters and have been responsible for launching comprehensive fund-raising campaigns, for supporting existing campus programs, and for enhancing overall private giving. A 2002 Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB) report states, "The history of American philanthropy suggests that donors will make private gifts to higher education without the incentive of a matching fund program. However, an opportunity to double or, in some cases, triple the dollar value of a gift provides donors with powerful incentives." Elsewhere, in places such as Hong Kong and Singapore with different and less explicit philanthropic traditions, donors have responded to the chance to increase the impact of their money in a similar way. The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) can see no reason why the introduction of a matched grants program in the United Kingdom should not be similarly rewarding. [The Council for Advancement and Support of Education is the largest international association of education institutions, serving more than 3,200 universities, colleges, independent schools, and related organizations in more than 40 countries. CASE is the leading resource for professional development, information, and standards in the fields of education fund raising, communications and marketing, and alumni relations. This report was prepared by CASE for the Sutton Trust.] (ERIC). |
