The New College Foundation is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that is governed by a volunteer board of directors.
The Foundation and its Board of Directors manages an endowment and a collection of funds that are invested for growth. Each year, endowment earnings are distributed, providing private support, as determined by donors, for students scholarships, academic programs, faculty research, and more.
