Abstract	Fundraising is the most challenging issue facing Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The declines in federal and state appropriations have elucidated the need for alternative sources of financial support. The specific problem of interest is that the inherent level of entrepreneurial self-efficacy of the president and development officer and its influence on percent to goal attainment in annual alumni fundraising is undocumented even though raising funds is vital to the financial stability of HBCU's. Further, fundraising experience and hours of fundraising training, that are essential to proficient fundraising is void in the literature. The purpose of this quantitative non-experimental correlational study is to test how the level of entrepreneurial self-efficacy, fundraising experience, and hours of fundraising training received by the president and development officer predict the percent to goal attainment in annual alumni fundraising. The study population size of 182 will comprise all presidents and development officers of the 91 four-year public and private HBCU's dispersed across 21 states and territories across the continental United States. The entrepreneurial research survey was used to measure the entrepreneurial self-efficacy of the president and development officer of HBCUs. A survey was used to obtain the fundraising, experience and training profile of the HBCU fundraising leaders. There was no significant relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and percent to goal attainment in annual alumni fundraising. Significant positive relationships were found between fundraising experience and percent to goal attainment p < 0.01. In addition, an overall significant positive relationship was found between hours of fundraising training and percent to goal attainment p < 0.05. There was no observed significant relationship between the combined predictors, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, years of fundraising experience, hours of fundraising training and percent to goal attainment. The results of this study recommended further work in the area of fundraising experience to determine what specific aspects of experience have a greater predictive capacity on percent to goal attainment. Lastly, broadening the sample to include predominately white institutions and community colleges to determine the relationship of the study variables is also recommended.
