raising campaign at USC. Vice President Martin Grenzebach
said the firm will present a statement identifying the
purposes for wiiich the institution needs to raise money.
Donald Keel of the foundation said colleges and specific
programs at USC have traditionally raised funds in the
private sector without coordination with nth?*r nortc
I university. "We are talking about coordinating the fundraising
efforts of the entire university instead of having each
school or college doing fund raising on its own."
THE FOUNDATION is a private, chartered group that
raises money for the university. All gifts, scholarships and
money collected from private sources no to the foundation
|g which then distributes the money to the university.
"The educational foundation's purpose is to raise funds to
3 do things not normally funded by the state," said Bernard
Daetwyler, USC systems vice president for business and
finance.
The Grenzebach company is a development consultant for
non-profit organizations and has worked at the universities of
Georgia, North Carolina and Mississippi and other campuses
nationwide.
GRENZEBACH SAID THERE are five elements the
company studies when in its feasibility study. They are:
? Anviiuuiuuuii 9 linage.
The timing of a fund drive to ensure that problems with
the local economy and competition from other area schools
don't interfere.
The firms that could contribute substantial amounts to
the drive.
The availability of people with contacts in the community
to help raise the money.
The firm is contracted for nine weeks, but will be billed on
a weekly basis if the study takes less than nine weeks.
Neither university nor company officials would comment on
the cost of the study.

funds but economic pressures on higher education have
forced to focus and consolidate our fund-raising efforts."
Keel said the university has had little experience raising
money in the private sector. "It used to be that the only fund i
raising in the private sector went for a capital campaign for a '
