PROUD PAST. BRIGHT FUTURE.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We started in 1925 in Baltimore with a simple mission\u2014to offer access to life-changing educational opportunities tailored\u00a0to working adults. In the evening hours, long after traditional schools closed, students came to our urban campus to achieve their goals, one class at a time. Those classes\u2014and how they are offered\u2014have evolved, but our mission holds true. We will always be different by design. Our students come to us with unmatched passion, grow with us into the leaders they want to be, and make a meaningful impact through civic engagement in their communities here and around the world.<\/p>\n

OUR CENTENNIAL PILLARS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING<\/h3>\n

We believe in the transformative power of higher education and its ability to empower people to improve their lives, their communities and the world.<\/p>\n

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE<\/h3>\n

We believe in preparing our students to excel in their professional, volunteer and personal settings through a balanced and practical real-world education. It\u2019s not enough to be merely good\u2014we strive for excellence in everything we do.<\/p>\n

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT<\/h3>\n

We believe civic engagement is a fundamental human duty. We don\u2019t just learn in the classroom. We learn by walking the streets of our neighborhoods, volunteering at local organizations, coming to the aid of those who are looking for a helping hand.<\/p>\n

FY2025 ANNUAL IMPACT AND INVESTMENT REPORT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"For over half a century, The University of Baltimore Foundation has served as the entity that raises and manages privately-sourced financial support for the University, in addition to providing leadership, guidance and support to school administration in advancing the mission and vision of UBalt.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Foundation stood beside students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors and members of our extended community to commemorate the school\u2019s Centennial anniversary. With 2025 in the rear view, we are honored to stand alongside those same people as we forge ahead into a new century of promise and progress at UBalt.<\/p>\n

So many of our donors can trace their own success to their experiences at the University of Baltimore. That is why so many of them chose to celebrate one hundred years of UBalt excellence by establishing and supporting programs that will carry the University\u2019s legacy of transformative learning, academic excellence and civic engagement into the future. The stories that follow are a testament to the continuing strength and impact of the University\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n
