Several months ago I was approached to design a Capitol Campaign website for my University. This was a problem.
Usually I can at least attempt to imagine myself as the intended audience of a site; put myself in their shoes, and design a site based on what (I think) they expect. But people inclined to give away large sums of money? I haven’t the slightest understanding of this audience, and probably never will.
So I spent several hours looking around. Who seems to be doing this well? Linked screenshots are below. And for higher resolution, here’s the original pdf I put together containing all the examples.
The criteria in my short search weren’t that lofty, just find University Campaign websites done moderately well. …not just in terms of design, but compelling copy, user-experience, etc. Anybody know of additional examples worthy of emulation?

Here’s my employer (although not alma matter) with a site for an on-going campaign. I didn’t have anything to do with it, I think it’s pretty well done.
