Mission
The University of Colorado Foundation is the portal for philanthropic giving to the University of Colorado and is responsible for receiving, managing, and investing the endowments and other gift funds the Foundation holds for the benefit of CU.
About
For over 50 years, the University of Colorado Foundation has partnered with the University of Colorado to enhance philanthropic support for CU. Private support for the University, given through the philanthropic portal of the Foundation, enables the University to transform lives through education, research, clinical care and community engagement. See the Impact Report 2023 and the CU Foundation’s Audited Financial Statements for highlights of the Foundation’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. See CU Foundation’s Financial and Investment Documents for additional years, fiscal policies and guides.
The Foundation was founded in 1967 by a group of dedicated alumni and community leaders who sought to raise and invest private funding for the University to augment its other revenue streams. The CU Foundation is a legally separate 501(c)(3) charitable organization that functions as a part of CU Advancement.
The Foundation focuses its efforts on donor stewardship through customer service and assurance in gift acceptance, processing and administration. The Foundation invests and allocates gift funds in a manner consistent with the purposes established by donors, and distributes dollars from its managed funds to support a wide variety of programs and activities throughout the University system and on its four campuses.
