The Foundation is a separately incorporated non-profit 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization, responsible for identifying and nurturing relationships with potential donors and friends of the College; soliciting cash, securities, real and intellectual property, and other private resources to support the College; and acknowledging and stewarding gifts in accordance with donor intent and its fiduciary responsibilities. The Foundation plans for and manages private contributions and works with the College to assist and advise in such activities.
