Stronger together

Together, Indiana businesses and Indiana University are a powerful force for good.

With For All: The Indiana University Bicentennial Campaign, IU is celebrating the incredible achievements of our first 200 years and setting the stage for IU’s third century and the future of Indiana.

There’s never been a better time to partner with IU.

IU’s statewide impact

658,000+hours of IU student volunteer service to local communities (valued at $16M)

80%of Hoosiers are within an hour’s drive of an IU campus

As the number one producer of Indiana’s nurses, teachers, dentists, IT professionals, surgeons, lawyers, and police officers, IU plays an essential role in supporting Indiana’s workforce.

“A lot of the things that I’ve been able to do came from someone providing me an opportunity. These people have opened a door for me. And I never pull that door closed behind me—I turn to see if there’s someone else I can bring through.”

A shared vision for a stronger Indiana

When Indiana businesses have a need, they come to IU. In turn, IU relies on industry leaders for guidance, investment, and vision-setting. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship that builds a culturally rich, economically strong, and healthier Indiana for all.

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.

Corporate innovation is the new growth area for twenty-first century companies. They are all trying to chase down how to become more innovative companies—and they'll need a new breed of students coming out of universities to accomplish that goal.
