What is the Foundation?

     
       The Higher Education Partnership Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) organization formed for the purpose of promoting public higher education in the State of Alabama. The Foundation will enhance the effort to improve long-term economic and quality of life opportunities for the people of Alabama. The primary goal of the Foundation is to serve as a vehicle for educating people about the importance of higher education in bettering the lives of the people of Alabama.
 

     Through donations, the Foundation provides leadership training, promotes awareness of higher education among leaders, and offers leadership retreats for university students, alumni, faculty, etc. We plan to strengthen the communications abilities of these participants and to teach them “how to influence public policy.” We want the participants to be better prepared to advocate for public universities and to relate the importance of higher education in bettering the lives of people in Alabama.
 

 

Students from Alabama's public universities get a tour of K-12 schools in Hale County as part of the Blackbelt Project, a service project where university students collected and delivered school supplies to Hale County public schools.
