Friends of Forman is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization that directs donor support to Forman Christian College, a Chartered University (FCCU), in Lahore, Pakistan. As a trustee of the university’s land, Friends of Forman plays a critical role in strengthening institutional stability by funding need-based scholarships, Christian leadership initiatives, student programming, and strategic campus infrastructure across all levels of education from pre-K through PhD.

By connecting donors, churches, and partners to FCCU’s mission, Friends of Forman expands access to transformative education for students who would otherwise be limited by financial hardship, social barriers, and lack of opportunity. This support helps remove barriers to higher education and disrupt cycles of generational poverty, enabling FCCU to equip students to become ethical, globally minded leaders who positively impact their communities and the world.

For more than 160 years, FCCU has been a place where education and faith intersect to shape future leaders. Today, it continues this legacy by providing life-changing opportunities to students who would not otherwise have access to a world-class education. At FCCU, students from diverse faiths, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds study side by side, engaging in thoughtful dialogue, building mutual respect, and growing together in a spirit of unity and peace. This distinctive environment reflects FCCU’s enduring mission, "By love serve one another," to cultivate both academic excellence and strong character.
