Our board members generously give their time without receiving any pay.
The board of directors of a college's foundation is responsible for overseeing the
foundation’s mission to support the college through fundraising, financial stewardship,
and resource development. They ensure donations are used effectively, approve budgets
and investment strategies, and help guide fundraising efforts. Board members also
serve as ambassadors for the college, fostering relationships with donors, alumni,
and the community, while ensuring the foundation operates ethically and in alignment
with the institution’s goals.
