Ball State University Foundation

Our Call to Beneficence

The Campaign for Ball State University is an unprecedented initiative to raise more than $350 million in philanthropic gifts to drive dozens of specific, vital projects in every corner of the institution. The future holds countless opportunities for Ball State to change lives, raise up communities, and make the world a better place.

Let’s do good today so that Ball State can do good tomorrow.
