Foundation Board
The ACUHO-I Foundation is the only organization that raises money for ACUHO-I to fund large-scale educational programs, research initiatives, and practice innovations for campus housing and residence life professionals around the world.
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, the Foundation receives donations from individuals and corporate partners to help advance the ACUHO-I mission, empower those working in campus housing and the residence life profession, and engage the broader higher education community. Guided by a set of bylaws (PDF) and a mission to support ACUHO-I’s strategic efforts, the ACUHO-I Foundation board is dedicated to fostering a stronger future.
