VSE Survey Report

Colleges, universities, and private elementary and secondary schools can use the Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) Survey report to compile data, such as private gifts and grants received, to send to the Council for Aid on Education (CAE). The VSE Survey report shows information about the giving associated with the categories of the VSE Survey and is formatted to correspond directly with the survey. The report shows the quantity and total amount of outstanding pledges associated with current and capital operations, the outright giving associated with the VSE categories, and the total given to each category by constituency. The CAE uses this information to help your institution compare its data against other related organizations. Participation in the VSE Survey is voluntary.

Note: The constituencies and fundraising purposes associated with revenue determine to which VSE categories gifts are applied. When a fundraising purpose is added to the database, your organization can assign it to a specific VSE category. Similarly, your system administrator can map individual and organization constituencies to the constituencies of the VSE Survey in Constituents. For information about how to map your constituencies to the constituencies of the VSE Survey, see the Constituents Guide.

To access the report, on the Fundraising page, select VSE survey under Reports. The VSE Survey report screen appears. From this screen, you can select the parameters to use to generate and view the report. Once you run the report, you can print it or export its data in several different formats.

Note: To access this report from Report explorer, select Reports, Fundraising Efforts, VSE Survey Report.
