大学を変えるファンドレイジング : 米国から学ぶリーダーシップと同窓生を中心としたコミュニティ作り

This content was compiled during an international workshop sponsored by the Japanese University Network in the Bay Area (JUNBA). JUNBA is a consortium that currently includes 13 Japanese universities that have offices in the U.S. and serve as regular members; six organizations that do not have office in the U.S. are associate members; and 34 individual members. The Consul General of Japan in San Francisco serves as an honorary advisor and the head of the San Francisco office of the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and the director of Stanford University’s US-Asia Technology Management Center serve as JUNBA’s advisors.
JUNBA’s activities are aimed at sharing networks and know-how among Japanese sites overseas. JUNBA has held a number of international symposia thus far. The international symposium of January 2020 investigated actual cases of fundraising, including the strategies and positioning employed by U.S. universities and their fundraising departments. The second part of the symposium was a forum, with participation by Japanese university administrators and other officials, analyzing actual cases and current conditions in the U.S. and discussing such topics as how to use and apply these methods in Japan. Previous international symposia did not offer many detailed examples of efforts or current conditions in advanced nations of fundraising; therefore, we want to widely disseminate information and contribute to the development of fundraising activities by Japanese educational and research institutions by publishing this part of the higher education and research series.
We hope that this publication will be of assistance in expanding efforts and improving frameworks for fundraising during this time of declining public funding for higher education and research institutions.
