IU Foundation Board of Directors: What we do
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.
