The purpose of this paper is to clarify the factors that enable public corporations in need of donations to collect more donations, as well as the factors that impede donation activities, by quantitatively evaluating donation activities. In particular, in this paper, we were able to clarify the factors that influence donation behavior by using various data and analytical methods to evaluate the funding mechanism of universities. Regarding the evaluation of funding, it became clear that there are two factors: macrostructural factors and university characteristics. In terms of the macro structure, systems that can receive a large amount of public subsidies for fundraising, such as private universities in the United States and national universities in Japan, tend to have an easier time collecting donations, and conversely, public subsidies are low. Data analysis has revealed that private universities in Japan tend to receive fewer donations. It was also revealed that, as a micro characteristic of universities, those that have been in operation for a long time since their founding and those that place emphasis on research are more likely to collect donations regardless of their discipline.
