Where can you make the greatest impact?
Your gift to the Futures Fund provides unrestricted support to the needs at Kelley Indianapolis, including the entrepreneurship of our team, with seed money for ideas and programs that have not yet earned a budget line. Our newest projects immerse students in the Indianapolis business community, translate faculty research into better business decisions and align talent to the economic uplift of our community.
Your gift to support general scholarships helps Kelley at IU Indy make extraordinary business education available to more students. When you support our general scholarship fund, you help bring students of all backgrounds to Kelley and help us ensure that these students have access to experiences that prepare them to tackle the problems facing the central Indiana economy.
You are investing in the future of business by supporting students through the scholarship fund today.
The Major Gifts team builds and nurtures lasting partnerships with Kelley alumni and friends, merging the philanthropic wishes of donors with the funding needs of the school.
Most major gifts create endowments to subsidize a scholarship, fellowship, chair, program or center. These endowments exist in perpetuity, thereby preserving the school’s ability to ably educate the business leaders of tomorrow.
Major gifts create, supplement and, in many cases, perpetuate the extensive learning opportunities of students enrolled in the Kelley School of Business at IU Indy.
