Purpose-driven work. People-first culture
The IU Alumni Association and IU Foundation work together to activate and champion the global network of IU alumni and maximize private support for IU. While our organizations work closely together, each has its own mission.
Working at the IU Alumni Association
Across our organization, we believe in creating an inclusive culture and honoring a commitment to serving each other, alumni, and IU. We foster a spirit of collaboration to achieve common goals. Above all else, we take pride in celebrating the best of the past, present, and future of IU.
Working at the IU Foundation
We are a diverse team of more than 300 staff members with wide-ranging personal and professional backgrounds. What unites us is our shared dedication to our life-changing work. We connect IU’s mission and needs with passionate alumni, donors, and partners who want to make a difference in the world.

Before joining the IU Foundation team, I didn't even realize this specific career path existed. However, I quickly discovered that you don't need a background in higher education advancement to thrive here. Even without prior experience in the philanthropic side of prospect research, the transition was seamless because the role aligns perfectly with my skillset as a researcher. The environment encourages you to learn as you go, and IUF has been an incredibly rewarding match.
