Abstract

This is a case study from the series Process and Techniques of Foundation-Building: Experiences from Eight Organizations in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

It examines the formation, financing and programs of the Foundation for Higher Education, which was established in 1964 by Colombian business leaders and academicians to mobilize and channel funds for universities.

The preparation of this series of case studies was made possible by support from the Ford Foundation, the Aspen Institute, the C.S. Mott Foundation and the Compton Foundation.
