On December 3, 2019, The City College of New York and its Foundation Board Leadership announced the formation of The Foundation for City College, Inc. It was the culmination of a three-year process to consolidate the 21st Century Foundation and the City College Fund. The Foundation began operations with an endowment of more than $290 million.

The Foundation for City College provides access to educational and research excellence, particularly to students who might not otherwise attend a senior college. Private gifts have the power to advance higher education, which transforms lives and communities and the Foundation strives to enrich the City College experience for students, faculty, and staff, and to work in collaboration with the President of The City College of New York to raise significant financial support from private sources, and to steward the Foundation’s assets while serving as advocates for the College.

The Foundation supports a variety of programs at City College, including named professorships, advanced research operations, innovative programs leading to increased student success and campus-wide wellness opportunities, workforce development initiatives as well as special programs and lectures that bring some of the nation’s top intellectuals to our campus.

The vision of the Foundation for City College is to be the steward of The City College of New York through the Foundation’s position as advocates for the College’s endowment, and to serve as a leader in accountability, stewardship, and overall commitment to excellence.
