The
Crichton Foundation, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland
The
Crichton Foundation is a charitable trust, formerly known
as the Crichton Endowment Trust, which was first set up
by Dumfries and Galloway Regional Council in 1996 to support
the Crichton Project.
With
a Mission Statement of 'creating a world class centre
of learning and enterprise', the central role of
the Crichton Foundation is to raise funds for charitable
purpose and to apply these funds to:
-
widen access to higher and further education in southern Scotland and beyond;
-
assist the academic institutions on the Crichton University Campus to develop their academic programmes and facilities;
-
preserve and regenerate the heritage of the Crichton estate as a public asset, to be enjoyed by the local community; and
-
raise awareness of the importance of the Crichton University Campus for the prosperity of the local community.
