FIHE Venture Fund Evaluation

As part of its technical assistance to corporations and foundations, CIC’s CAPHE unit conducted an evaluation of the first two years of the Foundation of Independent Higher Education’s (FIHE) UPS-endowed National Venture Fund grant program. The report, including a presentation of the analysis, was presented to the FIHE board of directors at its Annual Meeting in February 2001. According to FIHE, the FIHE/UPS National Venture Fund was established to inspire and fund creative solutions to the needs of independent colleges and universities, and to encourage participation in such efforts from foundations, corporations, government agencies, individuals, and other nonprofit organizations, including the state independent college funds. As part of CIC's Protocol for Collaboration, CAPHE's executive director is a member of the FIHE-UPS National Venture Fund Committee.
