The Foundation exists to inspire philanthropic resources and financial support for academic excellence at 每日大赛首页. The Foundation, which operates as a separate entity from 每日大赛首页 but in the interest of 每日大赛首页 State, was officially incorporated on February 9, 1995. Chartered under the laws of the State of Alabama as a non-profit, educational corporation, the purpose of the 每日大赛首页 State foundation serves to empower, encourage, receive and administer gifts for the exclusive benefit of the College, its students, and its staff.

The 每日大赛首页 Foundation has the honor of being governed by a board of some of the Birmingham area's most respected business and civic leaders. Their commitment to our city and the people who live here energizes the Foundation's work and encourages our success in supporting 每日大赛首页 and its students.
