NEW COLLEGE INSTITUTE BOARD RESPONDS TO FOUNDATION REORGANIZATION

Retrieved on: 
Saturday, March 4, 2023

For the past five years, despite continued efforts by NCI to engage with its own foundation, the New College Foundation has completely abandoned and abrogated its sole responsibility to provide support for NCI.

Key Points: 
  • For the past five years, despite continued efforts by NCI to engage with its own foundation, the New College Foundation has completely abandoned and abrogated its sole responsibility to provide support for NCI.
  • It is undisputed that the New College Foundation has never raised any money on its own for the benefit of New College during that 5-year period.
  • With its recent ‘dissolution’ and attempt to re-make itself into a broader educational foundation, the now-defunct New College Foundation appears to be attempting to improperly convert those donations, grants, and tax-payer monies given to NCI through NCF, for its new foundation’s future use, with no accountability or communication to the New College Institute, or to those that made those previous donations.
  • And while New College applauds this new foundation’s (MHCAF) efforts to help the citizens of Southside, this “new” foundation cannot do so with funds that were received prior to these changes and meant to support New College Institute.
