Foundation Core Values:

Purpose:

• Enable alumni, the East Hartford community, and others to support the mission of Goodwin College through contributions.
• Enable donors to support Goodwin College students through scholarship support.
• Empower donors to promote change in the community.
• To enhance the relationship between alumni and friends with the College.
• Build a community committed to enhancing the lives of those seeking to make their world and others' better.

History:

Goodwin College Foundation was formed as a separate 501(c)(3) from Goodwin College in 2000, when the College was still for-profit, to enable the College to begin accepting charitable donations from the community.

The Foundation began actively fundraising in 2006 with the launch of an annual golf tournament. In 2009, the Foundation grew once again to broaden its efforts through the formal launch of an annual campaign, and in 2010, major gifts. By 2010, the Foundation again restructured to expand the role and scope of its board of directors to serve as an active fundraising board. Today, the Foundation board has grown to 15 members and the Foundation itself is well over $3,000,000.

Ways to Support:

The Foundation is composed of several funds which support scholarships, student support services, and endowment. Find out how you can support the Foundation and College in a way that means most to you.
