Organizations Filed Purposes: THE MISSION OF THE VIRGINIA FOUNDATION FOR INDEPENDENT COLLEGES IS TO ADVANCE THE DISTINCTIVE VALUES AND STRENGTHS OF OUR FIFTEEN SMALLER ENROLLMENT, UNDERGRADUATE, RESIDENTIAL VIRGINIA MEMBER COLLEGES. WE DO THIS BY SECURING FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR, INCREASING VISIBILITY, FACILITATING INNOVATIVE AND COLLABORATIVE INITIATIVES BETWEEN THE COLLEGES, AND SUPPORTING INITIATIVES WHICH ENSURE THAT THIS PERSONALIZED EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE REMAINS AN AFFORDABLE CHOICE FOR TOMORROW'S CITIZEN-LEADERS.

ADVANCE THE DISTINCTIVE VALUES AND STRENGTHS OF OUR FIFTEEN SMALLER ENROLLMENT, UNDERGRADUATE, RESIDENTIAL VIRGINIA MEMBER COLLEGES.

THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES ANNUAL UNRESTRICTED AND RESTRICTED CONTRIBUTIONS TO SUPPORT CRUCIAL NEEDS AT ITS FIFTEEN MEMBER INSTITUTIONS, INCLUDING FUNDING FOR CAMPUS OPERATIONS, ACADEMIC PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, AND FACULTY DEVELOPMENT.

THE ETHICS INITIATIVE PROVIDES RESOURCES FOR AN ANNUAL STATEWIDE ETHICS BOWL PROGRAM AMONG STUDENT TEAMS FROM EACH OF THE FIFTEEN MEMBER INSTITUTIONS. VFIC TRUSTEES AND DONORS SERVE AS JUDGES AND MODERATORS FOR THIS EVENT.

THE WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SUMMIT IS DESIGNED TO EMPOWER YOUNG WOMEN WHO ARE ATTENDING A VFIC MEMBER COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY. SELECTED STUDENTS JOINED FELLOW VFIC STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH FOR A THREE-DAY SUMMIT TO HEAR FROM DYNAMIC AND INSPIRATIONAL CORPORATE AND CIVIC LEADERS ABOUT THE SKILLS NEEDED TO ASSUME POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY IN PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL SETTINGS. THE STUDENTS EXPLORED THEIR OWN PERSONAL PURSUITS IN THE AREAS OF LEADERSHIP, SKILLS DEVELOPMENT, AND IDENTIFYING AND FURTHER STRENGTHENING THE AREAS NEEDED TO RECOGNIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
