The
Goizueta Foundation has made a $2 million gift to the University of
Miami in support of the Cuban Heritage Collection. A part of Momentum2:
The Breakthrough Campaign for the University of Miami, $1 million of
this gift will endow The Goiuzeta Graduate Fellowship Program, allowing
the CHC to continue awarding research opportunities to doctoral
candidates from across the United States. Additionally, The Goizueta
Foundation has challenged the University of Miami to raise $500,000 in
support of the CHC. Once these funds are secured, the foundation will
match with a gift of $1 million for the second endowment to support the
continued growth of the CHC's collections through acquisitions,
preservation, and digitization. (Read More →)
