Elon College Draws Aid
From Foundation Funds
The North Carolina Foundation of
Church-Related Colleges, which unites
twenty-four institutions of higher
learning in the state in a cooperative
appeal for funds through private phi
lanthropy, has meant much to Elon
College the thirteen years m which
the organization has functioned.
During that thirteen-year period,
Elon College has received a total of
$222,118.69 from the Foundation, ac
cording to a statement this week from
Dr. J. E. Danieley, Elon's president,
who points out that this share of
Foundation funds has meant much to
Elon College in a period when year-
by-year demands for and cost of high
er education have been increasing.
Dr. Danieley pointed out that, in
the face of rising costs, industry has
taken over an increasing greater por
tion of the rising costs through cor
porate gifts to privately-endowed col
leges. He cited the fact that the
North Carolina Foundation of Church
Related Colleges has solicited and re
ceived constantly increasing donations
from industrial groups.
Pin-pointing the industrial partici
pation in educational costs, the Elon
president pointed out that the Foun
dation received and distributed a
total of $530,821.19 during the one
year of 1965-66, of which $25,159.51
was received by Elon College. The
remainder of the more than half a
million dollars went to twenty-three
other church-related collegs in North
Carolina.
The North Carolina Foundation of
Church-Related Colleges was founded
in 1953 as a cooperative venture to
promote independent action in the
colleges and to assist corporate enter
prise in meeting its responsibility for
increased educational opportunities
for young people in North Carolina.
The Foundation has grown rapidly
during the thirteen years, but the col
leges have also grown. In 1954 the
twenty-four colleges had 11,792 stu
dents, compared with a combined en
rollment of 21,120 students today.
These colleges have current budgets
amounting to $25,438,000 per year
which are not subsidized by taxes
