The Kansas State University Foundation is the official
fundraising organization for Kansas State University. Their mission is to
secure and prudently manage private gifts in support of Kansas State University
and foster a culture that unites philanthropic desire. Foundation staff members
work in close partnership with university administrators, deans and faculty to
secure charitable contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations
to support identified priorities for the university. Gifts received through the
foundation fund undergraduate and graduate student scholarships, establish
faculty chairs and professorships, provide college and departmental support,
and enhance the campus infrastructure. With the help of the Foundation, Kansas
State University will reach its goal to become a top 50 public research university
by 2025.
