Abstract

This paper examined the impact of non-governmental organization donations as alternative funding strategies for material resources in federal universities, north-central, Nigeria. A research question and hypothesis was formulated for the study. The literatures were reviewed on the key variables and concepts of the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design with a population of 17,919 and sample size of 398. The questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The instrument was validated and its reliability was 0.87. Frequency counts, mean, and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while ANOVA was used to test the hypothesis. The results revealed that donations impacted significantly on the provision of material resources in the study area. The paper recommends that the government should create an enabling environment that will encourage non-governmental organizations’ donations to continually impact positively for material resources in federal universities in the north-central zone, Nigeria
