An example of the American model is Harvard University. At the school's 350th anniversary, they reached their fundraising goal of US $ 350 million. At that time Harvard established a special committee which targeted 500 big corporations, letting their alumni in these corporations understand that Harvard needs them and that Harvard can give them assistance in their corporate development.
以美國哈佛大學為例，在三百五十週年校慶時，成功募得既定目標的三億五千萬美元，當時哈佛組織一個委員會鎖定五百大企業進行遊說，讓企業家校友們瞭解哈佛需要他們，而哈佛也能提供企業發展上的協助。
