Independent College Fund of Maryland

Since 1953, The Independent College Fund of Maryland has provided the private sector a vehicle for investing in the quality of independent higher education. Our Mission is to raise funds for I-Fund member colleges – principally from businesses and foundations – for programs, scholarships and technology, and to promote a greater awareness of the value of Maryland’s independent liberal arts colleges and universities.

We are committed to the value of productive alliances and recognize that the challenges our state faces cannot be met, nor our opportunities fully realized by any one sector alone. We believe that a mutuality of interests is central to creating strong partnerships that will generate results, and we strive to find creative ways businesses can tap into a statewide market of independent colleges and their students to achieve corporate objectives while improving teaching and learning at I-Fund member institutions.
