When you give to Indiana University, you have the power to change the world for the better. To enable a student to become the first in her family to attend college. To support lifesaving research. To prepare the next generation of thoughtful, global leaders.
By raising and investing funds for the university, the IU Foundation maximizes support for the IU causes you care about the most. Together, we can make the dream of an IU education attainable for all.
We got our start in 1936, when a small group of alumni, friends, and IU community members banded together to formalize the process of finding financial support for IU by creating the IU Foundation (IUF).
Over the decades, we’ve grown and evolved, just as the university has. But we have the same core values—and we apply them to everything we do.
