UW-Madison was among the national leaders in private funds raised during the 2010 fiscal year according to the annual Voluntary Support of Education Survey, which was released by the Council for Aid to Education on Wednesday.
The survey reports Wisconsin?s flagship institution brought in $311.8 million in gifts, ranking 12th nationally.
But that?s a decrease from a year ago, when UW-Madison raised $341.8 million and ranked 10th nationally in 2009. UW-Madison wasn’t alone in this regard.
