This researcher explored the relationship between fundraising results and graduation rates at the 50 Texas community college districts. Decreases of state funding to community colleges during the past several years has created not only problems meeting budget expenditures, but also encouraged the development of new ways of raising revenue to support student success. Fundraising is not new to higher education institutions but the importance of having fundraising efforts as part of strategic planning is fairly new. With traditional funding streams decreasing and not expected to return to past levels for Texas community college districts, colleges must find alternative revenue sources. The problem addressed in this study was the influence of a community college district's fundraising success on student completion rates. The purpose was to determine if a correlation exists between the 50 Texas community college districts' fundraising and their respective graduation rates, as defined by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The populations used for this study were the fundraising assets of the 50 community college districts in Texas and the graduation rates of those districts. The researcher computed descriptive statistics for the continuous variables of interest. The variables were the graduation rates and fundraising results organized by college district. Individual assets were examined between 2008 and 2014, and an average asset value was computed during the 7-year time frame. No strong association existed between assets earned and graduation rates. Therefore, there is no correlation between fundraising results and graduation rates at the 50 community college districts. The researcher recommends further research in several areas: determine if the graduation rates and fundraising results are the same at other state community college districts; investigate why fundraising results and graduation rates do not correlate; determine what fundraising dollars are used for if not directly for student success; and investigate why graduation results decrease when fundraising assets increase.
