Foundation

YOUR PASSION. OUR PURPOSE.

Take your love for the arts, science, teaching, or technology and turn it into a legacy for student success. That is what happens when your passion meets our purpose. The Vincennes University Foundation assists alumni, friends, and partners in discovering their own style of philanthropy and matches it with efforts that support the mission of Vincennes University. Let us bring your passion for helping others to the forefront and be a leader in transformative change.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Power in Purpose with the VUJ Foundation

The VU Foundation and the Vincennes University Jasper Foundation (VUJF) are independent 501(c)3 organizations united by a shared mission: to champion the growth of Vincennes University and its students.

Through a strategic partnership, both foundations seek and manage contributions from alumni and friends to fuel higher education. While the VU Foundation supports the university’s global vision, VUJF focuses on its impact locally, ensuring the Jasper Campus remains a vibrant hub for student success and regional development. Together, we turn generous gifts into lasting opportunities.
