FUNDRAISING EFFORTS LAUDED BY CASE

The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) recently awarded Dickinson College a 2019 Educational Fundraising Award for excellence in fundraising. The award recognizes exemplary development programs based on a blind review of three years' worth of fundraising data submitted to CASE's AMAtlas Voluntary Support of Education Survey. Dickinson was recognized for its overall improvement in fundraising during that time period, along with roughly 90 institutions honored for overall performance or improvement.

"These institutions have not only demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism and best practice in its fundraising efforts," says Sue Cunningham, President and CEO of CASE. "They have contributed to the betterment of educational advancement worldwide by serving as a model to which others can aspire."

This achievement arrives on the heels of Dickinson's most ambitious Day of Giving to date, engaging nearly 3,900 donors to raise over $1 million for the college in a single day.
