The °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ Foundation (°ÅÀÖÊÓƵF) was started in 1984 as a tax-exempted 501(c)(3) institutionally related foundation to advance the mission of the University, safeguard donor intention and manage private assets for the benefit of °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ.
The °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ Foundation is a nonprofit organization that is structurally separate from the University and exists solely for the benefit of °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ. The °ÅÀÖÊÓƵF works closely with the university’s governing board of trustees, senior administrators, and our Alumni Association in fulfilling its mission.
Its independent Foundation Board of Trustees, led by °ÅÀÖÊÓƵF Chair David Rumrill, '91, is comprised of accomplished alumni and prominent professionals from across the region. °ÅÀÖÊÓƵF Trustees have fiduciary responsibility over the management of its assets on behalf of °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ while ensuring donor intention is honored by the university. They collectively provide specialized legal, business and financial management expertise to the operation of the Foundation for the betterment of Bridgewater.

Trust is the true currency of philanthropy; and thanks to the commitment of our stalwart trustees and generous donors, the °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ Foundation is fortunate in many, many ways.
