• On average, over 20 feasibility studies (in preparation for major gifts campaigns) are conducted by CG each year.
• Over 17,000 community and college “family” interviews have been conducted since CG’s founding.
• Over 35 community and/or technical college clients received at least one gift of at least $1,000,000 during campaign efforts in 2005-2008 alone.
• College clients include single campus, multi-campus, and multi-district institutions as well as state-wide systems.
• Campuses are located in communities ranging in population from less than 5,000 to over 4 million.
