Foundations

• The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
  The Foundation's grantmaking philosophy is to build, strengthen and sustain institutions and their core capacities, rather than be a source for narrowly defined projects. As such, it develops thoughtful, long-term collaborations with grant recipients and invests sufficient funds for an extended period to accomplish the purpose at hand and achieve meaningful results.
• The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
  The MacArthur Foundation supports creative people and effective institutions committed to building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world. In addition to selecting the MacArthur Fellows, we work to defend human rights, advance global conservation and security, make cities better places, and understand how technology is affecting children and society.
• The Teagle Foundation
  The Teagle Foundation provides leadership for liberal education, marshalling the intellectual and financial resources necessary to ensure that today's students have access to challenging, wide-ranging, and enriching college educations. The Foundation believes that the benefits of such learning last for a lifetime and are best achieved when colleges develop broad and intellectually stimulating curricula, engage their students in active learning, explore questions of deep social and personal significance, set clear goals, and—crucially—systematically measure progress toward them.

Organizations

• Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash College
  The Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts collaborates with institutions to gather and use evidence to strengthen liberal arts education. The Center works together with faculty, staff, administrators, and researchers at liberal arts institutions across the country on two core projects: the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education and providing assessment support  to liberal arts institutions.
• Chicago Humanities Festival
  The Chicago Humanities Festival sponsors an annual Fall festival celebrating the humanities and invites ACM and GLCA colleges to send students and faculty for a weekend. This year's nineteenth annual festival considers the sweep and scale of human ambition: the grand gesture, the great scheme, the Big Idea; this year's festival runs October 29-November 9, 2008.
• Independent Colleges Office (ICO)
  ICO provides services directed toward assisting member institutions to be competitive in the search for grants from federal agencies for faculty and curriculum development, and institutional renewal. The ICO recognizes the value of peer institutions working collectively to develop and maintain critical Washington contacts and connections in the arena of proposal development and grants administration.
• NITLE: National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education
   A community-based, non-profit initiative that provides professional development programs, managed information services, and peer networking opportunities to independent, undergraduate-centered institutions of higher education that participate in their Network.
