SECTION 20 – BACKGROUND AND PRESENT SYSTEM SUMMARY

20.1 Background and Current Business Need

Kentucky State University is a public, comprehensive, historically black land-grant University serving approximately 1,900 full-time and part-time students from around the world. The University is located at 400 East Main Street Frankfort, Kentucky. The University's 882-acre campus includes a 204-acre agricultural research farm and a 306-acre environmental education center.

Dr. Koffi Akakpo currently serves as president of Kentucky State University. The University's vision is to prepare today's students as global citizens, lifelong learners and problem solvers. Kentucky State University is positioned to drive outcomes to enable the intended future of students through entrepreneurship, innovation, and social impact.

Successful philanthropy operations and measurable results are critical to the future of Kentucky State University (KSU). Accordingly, KSU intends to hire a well-qualified consulting firm, with experience advising Historically Black College or University (HBCU) institutions, to evaluate the current philanthropy organization and operations. This evaluation will also include a campaign readiness assessment and feasibility study, which will provide essential information for leadership in positioning the University for future philanthropic success.
