I am delighted to welcome you to The Mico Foundation website where you will have the opportunity to learn more about who we are and what we do. Our primary goal is the strategic improvement of the assets of The Mico, its physical expansion and development as a comfortable, safe, and technologically integrated teaching and learning environment, the preservation of the Lady Mico legacy, and as the main driver for endowment and entrepreneurial enterprises. The Foundation was incorporated in 1981 as a limited liability company not for profit, with its membership and its Board comprising of representatives nominated by the Lady Mico Trust, the Board of the University College, and the Mico Old Students Association. In 1991 the Lady Mico Trust in Great Britain entrusted to the Foundation the Mico estate at 1A Marescaux Road; this together with all other acquired premises makes it the owner and custodian of all The Mico properties in Jamaica. The Foundation's primary objective is to preserve the heritage of the Lady Mico Trust, manage, develop and expand all acquired tangible and intangible assets and to raise funds to assist with the improvement of The Mico University College. In this regard, the Foundation commits to be an active, dependable and viable source for endowment, economic enterprises, asset preservation, and an enabling environment to develop social capital.
I trust that as you browse the website, you will be inspired by what we do as a charitable organization to facilitate the growth and development of the Mico University, and by extension, education in Jamaica and the wider Caribbean. The Foundation is open to new and productive ideas and invites you to share your ideas with us so that together we will advance the objectives and interests of both the Foundation and the Mico University College.
