Donate to The Imani Fund

Imani: n. faith and belief.

The Imani Fund will encourage exploration and cross-cultural understanding through supporting the study abroad experience of selected students in the Maryland Scholars Program, a subset of the Maryland Advantage Program. The Maryland Scholars Program provides first-generation college students from underserved socioeconomic backgrounds the opportunity to experience a life-changing liberal arts education. Although Goucher does provide assistance for the study abroad experience, many Maryland Scholars Program students need additional support. The Imani Fund helps cover costs associated with this formative experience. Your actions can shape students’ futures and teach one of life’s most important lessons—global understanding.
