This latest figure exceeds PBHA's original goal of $1 million. which was reached in mid-winter 1990, Rogers said.
"We have received a lot of mentoring and advice from alumni," Rogers said. "They have given us advice on who to talk to and how to aproach people and on overall and specific strategy."
"The endowment campaign will help us to underwrite the quality of our public service program for decades to come," Rogers said.
According to Rogers, much of the program's recent financial success has come from a restructuring of its fundraising systems. In 1988, the program added Rogers as its second full-time staff member, and in the summer of 1989, PBHA established a separate committee to direct its fundraising efforts.
Last year, annual giving to the public service association rose to $120,000, from only $50,000 the year before, Rogers said. In addition, the PBHA fundraiser said, the success of the drive was significantly increased by some Harvard alumni's non-financial contributions.
