What are the UIs fundraising priorities and who sets them?
Because the UI Foundation was established to facilitate the University’s mission, the Foundation’s major initiatives, such as large capital campaigns, are set by the University’s President, Provost, and central administration with the concurrence of the Foundation’s management group and board of directors. College and department fundraising priorities are recommended and approved by deans and the UI administration with advice and cooperation from the UI Foundation’s executive staff. However, some fundraising projects evolve from the ideas of external individuals or constituencies—Foundation staff members work with donors who demonstrate an interest in supporting any part of the University.
