succeed. As a brand-new foundation, we are building the first wave of scholarships and student
support programs at the University of Mid Florida (UMF). By giving today, you become a founding
supporter whose generosity will leave a lasting legacy for generations of students.

Your Impact

When you give to Mid Florida Foundation, you’re not just making a donation—you’re opening doors for students who may not otherwise have the chance to pursue higher education. You’re helping a first-generation student attend college, providing emergency support to a student in crisis, or giving an international student the resources to feel at home.
Every gift matters. Every gift changes a life.
