Explanation
Description of Organization Mission:
Form 990, Part III, Line I:
Iowa State University Foundation maximizes philanthropy in support of Iowa State University - its students, faculty and programs. This is accomplished by promoting and nurturing volunteerism and philanthropy, collaborating and building partnerships with administrators and faculty, building long-term relationships with donors while representing their needs and interests, operating with openness and transparency while honoring donors' privacy, and providing staff and volunteers with the tools and resources needed to achieve these goals. On July 1, 2003, ISU Foundation launched Campaign Iowa State: With Pride and Purpose, a comprehensive fundraising campaign with an $800 million goal which helped transform Iowa State University by providing support to students, faculty, programs and facilities. The campaign concluded June 30, 2011. At the end of the campaign on June 30, 2011, more than $867 million in gifts and commitments was received.
Program Service Accomplishments:
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a:
During the campaign, more than 800 new scholarships were created, and approximately 42,000 scholarship awards totaling $57 million were provided to Iowa State University students. Student support generated during the campaign was more than $262 million. This generous support from Iowa State benefactors is providing additional support for existing students and creating new opportunities for new and future students.
Program Service Accomplishments:
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b:
In an effort to increase support for Iowa State University faculty and staff, Iowa State designated an increase in endowed faculty positions (chairs, professorships and fellowships) to be a top campaign priority, with a goal of doubling these endowed positions (from 75 at the beginning of the campaign to 150 by its conclusion). The current number as of the end of the campaign was 158, surpassing the campaign goal. Since the campaign began, $182 million has been raised specifically for faculty and staff support with an additional $284 million for programmatic support. This support provides Iowa State faculty and staff with much needed resources to enhance programs and experiences for students and to continue vital research efforts.
Program Service Accomplishments:
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c:
During the campaign, over two dozen University building projects, most of which are completed or in progress, were funded in whole or in part by private gifts. They include Hach Hall (chemistry), Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center, Coover Hall Electrical and Computer Engineering addition, King Pavilion (design), Hixson-Lied Student Success Center, Alumni Center, Memorial Union renovations, Morrill Hall renovations, Sukup Basketball Complex, Seed Science Center addition, Jack Trice Stadium renovations, BioCentury Research Farm, Vondra Geology Field Station (Smith Lodge), Horticulture Greenhouse Complex, Biorenewables Complex, Curtiss Hall (agriculture and life sciences), Troxel Hall (classroom building), Agricultural Pavilion, Football Training Center, and Cyclone Sports Complex. Since the campaign began, $139 million has been raised specifically for buildings and equipment.
