IU Foundation Board of Directors

IU Foundation Board of Directors: What we do

The IU Foundation Board of Directors works to steward and support Indiana University’s fundraising goals while serving as the legal governing body for the IU Foundation.

These experienced leaders dedicate their time and talents to secure a strong future for Indiana University. Our board members come from a variety of backgrounds, with one common thread: sincere dedication to the success of Indiana University.

These remarkable individuals ensure the IU Foundation delivers on the promise of an affordable, world-class education at Indiana University.

The Board of Directors in action

Collectively, past and present IU Foundation board members have given more than $409 million to IU, making them some of our most generous donors. They also travel three times each year—at their own expense—to attend board meetings, providing governance oversight and input into how the IU Foundation can best achieve its mission of advancing Indiana University’s best interests.
