I don't think any CCs have the endowment mechanism to create lasting return on a gift that size. Also, most donors making gifts of that size are interested in both the academic and research portfolios of the institution, since that much money will necessarily go into many different projects across the university.So while a large gift to a CC, if they have the means to administer it sounds great, it probably doesn't feel that compelling to a donor.
