The task for the fundraisers is to find international donors who have a vested interest in CID's projects.
"We are working with people who have an interest in supporting the policy change that CID has the expertise to provide," Sievers says.
Some of the biggest donations may come from alumni and private investors in Latin America, Europe, Africa and parts of Asia, according to Sievers.
Even though the search for donors started immediately after CID's founding, the fundraising effort is still just beginning.
"These things tend to be long processes," Sievers says.
Sargent, senior associate dean for external affairs at KSG, says that in a campaign of this magnitude, it will take about five years to get commitments. At the moment, she adds, the push has $12-14 million in outstanding requests from donors--most of which is endowment money, dependent on outstanding proposals. Sargent says she expects answers on those proposals within six months.
Last spring, officials hosted a weekend devoted to the project.
