Foundation Board

The ÏãåúÖ±²¥ Foundation, Inc. is focused on the raising of funds from non-state sources to assist ÏãåúÖ±²¥ in reaching its mission. We achieve that goal through actively soliciting funds through our Annual Fund, Scholarship Endowments and monies from larger foundations. These monies are then awarded to deserving students through annual scholarships and academic awards.

The Board of Directors of the ÏãåúÖ±²¥ Foundation, Inc. is a volunteer board that meets quarterly to supervise the business of running a multi-million dollar foundation. Members serve three year staggered terms, and are involved in various sub-committees that govern the solicitation of gifts and the spending of the funds for the betterment of ÏãåúÖ±²¥ through both scholarship assistance and monies spent on facilities and programs.
