The Foundation has been in existence for 50 years. Serving as the channel through whichbusiness, industry, and the foundation community can show their support for Pennsylvania's private colleges and universities, the Foundation works to link businesses and higher education in partnerships that benefit today's students and tomorrow's leaders. From the nearly $50 million contributed through the Foundation on behalf of private higher education in the Commonwealth, students at our member institutions have enjoyed increased scholarship, community service and technology opportunities to better prepare them for the challenges of the next millennium.

Giving opportunities include:

• unrestricted support which allows flexibility in our ability to serve the member institutions
• scholarships and award programs to help increase the size and scope of institutional financial aid programs
• special projects such as campus-based technology enhancements, curricular innovations, and opportunities for student volunteerism and community service
• programs and collaborative initiatives that encourage cooperation among member institutions
