Below are just a few of the ways you might advance your business goals by establishing a strategic philanthropic partnership with IU.
A skilled, educated workforce
Organizations partner with IU to create a pipeline of people who can meet the demands of our ever-changing world, as Grant Thornton did by establishing the Institute for Data Exploration for Risk Assessment and Management at IU.
Vibrant communities
IU enriches life in Indiana, creating communities that attract top businesses and talent. Our campuses bring thousands of live musical performances, lectures, and arts and culture programs to our state every year. Through outreach initiatives like the Center for Rural Engagement, IU works with local leaders to enhance communities throughout Indiana.
A culture of innovation
IU is a hotbed of creative thought and research and development—bringing in $680.2 million in external funding to support IU research and other activities in fiscal year 2019, and generating 141 patents in fiscal year 2018.
Healthy Hoosiers
IU’s Precision Health Initiative is just one example of how IU, with incredible community support and investment, is tackling our state’s greatest health challenges, including cancer, addiction, and diabetes.
