The Ivy Tech Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization, established to provide support for the students and programs of Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana. The Foundation, organized in 1969, has contributed greatly to the statewide growth and development of the College. It has been instrumental in providing property and facilities of many Regional campuses. It continues to provide services where needed, especially in the area of financial support for Ivy Tech students.

The work of the Foundation is made possible by donations of money and equipment received from businesses, industry, foundations, individuals, and other friends of the College. Historically, staff and faculty have been tremendous supporters of the cause of the Foundation through cash gifts and payroll deductions. Last year, over 900 Ivy Tech employees provided financial support for Foundation activities. Gifts can be directed for use in areas of greatest need, or restricted to the uses of a particular Region, instructional site, or program area. All gifts to the Foundation qualify as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes as well as for special Indiana income tax credit.

More than $53 million in private donations has been received by the Foundation in the past five years. Donors have enthusiastically provided funds for student financial assistance, laboratory equipment and upgrades, and capital projects to renovate facilities, build buildings, and create new campuses across the State. Support for faculty training, staff development, and new programs associated with community college programming have also been targeted Foundation efforts.
