The Story Behind The Foundation
With roots reaching back to 1836, The Mico stands as one of the most significant educational institutions in Jamaica and the wider Caribbean. Its story is one of resilience, service, leadership, and educational transformation.
The Mico Foundation was established to support the long-term protection and development of assets connected to The Mico University College. Its purpose is not only administrative — it is deeply connected to legacy, responsibility, and future-building.
Through property stewardship, partnerships, fundraising, restoration, and project support, the Foundation helps ensure that the mission of The Mico continues with strength and stability.
Today, The Mico Foundation continues to serve as a bridge between history and possibility: preserving what came before while helping create what comes next.
