Chancellor's Circle Fund

Chancellor’s Circle members are loyal alumni, community leaders, and IU Indianapolis faculty, staff, and retirees who have given special, unrestricted gifts to the campus. Because the vast majority of gifts to IU Indianapolis are restricted to a specific area of support, Chancellor’s Circle funds have exceptional impact. The chancellor can direct them to areas of immediate need, including—but not limited to—student success initiatives, community partnerships, and unexpected opportunities.
